AT&T new ToS

From boingboing.net:

AT&T has brought down new Terms of Service for its network customers. From now on, AT&T can terminate your connection for conduct that "tends to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries." So AT&T customers aren't allowed to write/podcast/vlog critical things about AT&T, its billing-practices, or its cooperation with illegal NSA wiretapping, on pain of having their connections disconnected.

So if I want out of an AT&T contract that I find unfair all I have to do is go to GoDaddy and purchase a website for $10.00 to complain about my experience. That is a cool loophole to keep me from paying an early termination fee.

or you could just use the free space your isp provides you.. or myspace... or whatever..

Nah... I would want to sign my real name so AT&T would cancel my contract. I would not do that on MySpace or my real ISP space unless my real ISP was AT&T and I wanted to ditch their service.
