It’s rather deceiving. Customers sign up for “Internet” service, but they’re getting something less. They should not be allowed to call it Internet service if they block traffic. It’s clear that AT&T is not forthcoming about the block. They were “willing” to fix the problem, but conveniently incompetent. This implies that AT&T probably didn’t write in their ToS that they block Tutanota as an official policy.

Some states have a law against deceptive sales practices. So perhaps AT&T can be sued on that basis, or on the basis of breach of contract or negligence.

This is pretty awful. We need an Aaron Swartz-like figure but for modern times.

that’s a shame. May be in the future, real federated email service will appear
