AT&T: We’re Not Censoring Anyone

AT&T fired back at a recent report suggesting that the company is censoring bloggers who are critical of AT&T by shutting down their Internet service.

According to a post on Slashdot, a company spokesman said in response that it’s not a big deal because they have no intent to censor criticism. “AT&T claims to respect its subscribers’ right to voice their opinions and says that the contract is aimed at stopping the exploitation of children, and other tangible wrongs.”

The Slashdot poster went on to say that taking the company on faith after the spying scandal is asking maybe a little too much. We’re inclined to agree.
