A Slashdot reader noticed that in section 5 of the Terms of Service agreement between AT&T and its DSL subscribers, AT&T reserves the right to terminate or suspend service if
tends to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries.
As Ars Technica writer Ken Fisher ruminated, it is doubtful whether this clause is even enforceable. It’s some kind of ironic that AT&T is doing more damage to its reputation by the inclusion of this clause which is intended to protection its supposed positive image.

Say What's On Your mind
An insurance company told me that I couldn’t tell patients that something was unlikely to be a covered benefit. That my contract forbid me to say, “So-and-so health insurance won’t pay for that drug.” I told them they were not broccoli and that we still have free speech in this country, at least for now. My medical association weighed in on my side and I didn’t have any repercussions at all. Twits.
they were not broccoli
That’s hysterical.
