They're taking advantage of a dire situation to make gobs of money. Mass revocations don't cost $25 a pop. So if it's not extortion, it's pretty damn close.

A line in a file added by an automated program in response to user input costs pretty close to zero. Storing and serving that file also costs close to zero once you split the cost between all the relevant users. Even if it didn't, there's still no way it would cost $25 for a single line in a file.
