"AT&T's new Terms of Service give AT&T the right to suspend your  
account and all service "for conduct that AT&T believes"..."(c) tends  
to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates  
and subsidiaries." After cooperating with the government's violations  
of privacy and liberties, I guess AT&T wants their fair share. AT&T  
users may want to think twice about commenting if they value their  
Internet service."
