i currently use aol and they suspended the account becuase i had sent an innapropriate email but how would they know this without reading the mail I was sending.

They know all and see all. And yes, they do have the right.

Users can report mail; so if you sent an inappropriate message and someone sent a report to AOL they can terminate your account

wow, thats retarted. Send out 1 bad e-mail, get reported and boom, suspended.. Damn AOL..

Use PGP encrytion if ur worried people are spying on u

It's actually standard with most ISP's, it falls under a ToS violation for harassment/spam

Ya but comon, 1 e-mail ? If thats the case, i think its ridiculus, there should be some sort of warning first.

But i guess ur right, if he did it before, guess they had a right to deactivate his account.

It's defined in your ToS agreement with any ISP; if they find you in violation it's to their discression weather or not you still hold your account heh... Mainly depends on the severity of the issues at hand

next time i agree to those damn statements, wouldnt hurt reading it lol

That would be an interesting poll, I don't think i've ever read one,lol

the email was actually to someone who was spamming me so i sent them a little message
