Unfortunately, most of the TOS are written in such a way that they can make changes, but you can't. They have to make changes that are considered so extreme that a judge will throw it out. Of course even then, the contract might allow itself to fall back to a previous version. To the extent that you can, vote with your feet. Not just with the service, but with anything associated with that service. Tell the politico that you can't support him/her because of their association with the company. Politicos are cowards at heart and tend to assume that if one person is speaking, many who agree are not. They are owned by another company or they have other holdings? Call those companies and let them know you will not be doing any business with any of them because of that associated companies actions. Call the radio station and ask them why you should listen to their station when they allow an advertiser that pulls this kind of crap. (They actually do listen if you can put forth a real case.) Create a web-site or join a site that informs others about the issue. I'm sure gripeline gives lots of these companies ulcers and actually get some action done.
