Re: The new TOS

said by lvlorpheus See Profile :

My question is if they do not enforce this part of the TOS, does it make that part of the TOS weightless? And if that is the case does it not make the whole TOS weightless, or can they just write up as many pages as they want and then just pick and choose whats real and whats not. Would it not be a lot easier to have a TOS that says "We reserve the right to do what ever we want." Or can we expect to hear about half to three quarters of Verizons customers receiving warnings regarding off topic violations.
I think they put everything they can think of in there so that they can drop anyone they want and then withstand a lawsuit over it.

An example. Say they have a customer that goes to msg board after msg board spamming something they sell over the internet. Complaints start rolling in to Verizon about that person. Now they can just dump them and say they posted "off topic". Hey it was in their TOS, so sue them and they win.

Of course, they could use some generic "we can dump anyone we want" line. But that would be harder to defend in court.
