Most people don’t read the fine print in their consumer contracts but those who do have noticed something about AT&T’s new terms of service. Apparently AT&T can now cut off your service if you express negative opinions about the company. Take a look:

“AT&T may immediately terminate or suspend all or a portion of your Service, any Member ID, electronic mail address, IP address, Universal Resource Locator or domain name used by you, without notice, for conduct that AT&T believes … tends to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries.”

This effectively means that if you are an AT&T customer and the company believes that you have spoken negatively about them in, oh let’s say a blog post, they can cut off your service and you have no recourse. Apparently AT&T's attitude is "either like it or lump it".
