AT&T Issues Formal 'Censorship' Apology

Posted by samzenpus on from the just-kidding dept.

netbuzz writes "AT&T this evening has issued new terms of use language that it hopes will cap a firestorm of protest over the original version that appeared to give the company freedom to pull the plug on anyone who had the temerity to criticize AT&T or its affiliates. Whether you believed that threat to be real or overblown, the new language would seem to put the issue to rest."

    Hmf. I thought they put that language in their Terms of Service so they could do their part to stop the exploitation of children?

    Now the only reasonable question is: does AT&T support child exploitation?

    as usual, in a way, Darwin has the correct answer. Evolve or die. Learn to protect yourself or don't. Learn to not leave a system open likely by getting a virus and asking people how to deal with it, or formatting, or etc, or googling the answer, etc. Nobody's born a techie, but some people are too stubborn to evolve/learn. Usually we call them Jehova's Witnesses or bible thumpers.
