lawyers being lawyers

Mays says he'll give us a heads up on a revised statement as soon as it's available. AT&T insisted that the language was crafted primarily to tackle criminal efforts, not to silence customer criticism.

no, it was written by lawyers to be as vague and broadly interpreted as possible so they could kick someone off for doing anything they don't like.

and they got caught.

I agree... make the terms vague and subject to interpretation, and AT&T can pretty much do what they want. If they make them specific, it will be a 5000 page document.

"crafted primarily to tackle criminal efforts" whose?

Here's a thought for AT&T;

If someone is directing criminal activity towards your network why not seek law enforcement assistance to end it?
