AT & T: Critique us and void your contract

Date September 29, 2007

According to Boing Boing, AT&T’s terms of service now say they can terminate your contract if you criticize them.

I wonder how enforcible that is? Can they legally make that claim? Often terms of service will have a clause about what happens if a court finds some part of the Terms of Service illegal or unenforceable. Of course you can cause a great deal of annoyance to someone by taking them to court until those terms of service are deemed inoperative.

Another reason we can’t trust the infrastructure companies to manage the content.

    Sounds like you need to start living off the grid.

    Actually, Sprint cancelled the accounts of around 100 accounts that were too much of a pain to service. They gave these customers 30 days to find a new service provider.

    Aside from the whole violation of the first amendment thing, there is a certain attractive relief in knowing that there is a backdoor exit strategy from their two year contract.
