Ma Bell's Thin Skin

The Philter Phil Harvey, Editor-in-Chief, Light Reading 9/29/2007

06:10 PM -- AT&T's new terms of service seem a bit over the top.

In addition, AT&T may immediately terminate or suspend all or a portion of your Service,... for conduct that AT&T believes... tends to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries.

So if I post a story about a horrible service experience with Ma Bell, and she doesn't approve, can she switch off my phone service?
