Apparently, AT&T’s new policy is “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words may ALSO hurt me.”  From their newly updated Terms of Use:

In addition, 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 (a) violates the Acceptable Use Policy; (b) constitutes a violation of any law, regulation or tariff (including, without limitation, copyright and intellectual property laws) or a violation of these TOS, or any applicable policies or guidelines, or (c) tends to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries.

I would say that this article itself damages the name and repuation of AT&T, so I’m in a bit of a conundrum.
