AT&T stopper med at true genstridige kunder

Opdateret: Det er nogle lidt besynderlige vilkår, som det amerikanske telefonselskab AT&T indtil videre har stillet til sine internetkunder.

Telefonselskabet, der er blevet berømt i Europa som iPhone-teleselskabet, forbeholdt sig ret til at give sparket til kunder, som »sigter mod at skade AT&T's navn eller omdømme.«

Det besynderlige forbehold er dog blevet ændret, og teleselskabet vil nu respektere kunders ret til ytringsfrihed.

Gammelt vilkår nummmer 5:

»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.«

Nyt vilkår nummer 5,1:

»Suspension/Termination. AT&T respects freedom of expression and believes it is a foundation of our free society to express differing points of view. AT&T will not terminate, disconnect or suspend service because of the views you or we express on public policy matters, political issues or political campaigns.«
