AT&T threatens to disconnect subscribers who criticize the company
AT&T has rolled out new Terms of Service for its DSL service that leave plenty of room for interpretation. From our reading of it, in concert with several others, what we see is a ToS that attempts to give AT&T the right to disconnect its own customers who criticize the company on blogs or in other online settings.
Isn't that illegal? This is a violation of free speech, I don't care how they spin it or what their stupid TOS reads. I have AT&T for DSL service, only because they are the only company that services my neighborhood. Nothing gives any company the right to grant service based on an individual's personal viewpoint expressed in a personal blog. This is a legal battle they will never, ever win.
NOTE: AT&T DSL service BLOWS.
Please let the URL to this blog post find its way to their TOS rule enforcement department.
