AT&T Makes Its Terms of Service Even Worse, To Discourage Lawsuits

Posted by timothy on from the even-more-fine-print-to-read dept.

techmuse writes "AT&T has changed its terms of service (including for existing contracts) to prevent class action suits. Note that you are already required to submit your case to arbitration, a forum in which consumers are often at a substantial disadvantage. Now you must go up against AT&T alone." This post on David Farber's mailing list provides a bit of context as well.

    If it were unfettered capitalism, AT&T would have collapsed because the market wouldn't have allowed their shenanigans in the first place.

    If you do not like the contract, do not do business with AT&T. You've got a choice. They're not selling you something you need (air, food, water, shelter).
