AT&T disconnects whole families from the internet because someone in their house is accused of copyright infringement

Considering whole families usually don’t pay for more than one Internet connection,

There’s only one name on the contract. It’s not like the ISP can selectively cut access to people in the house. The “whole families” thing is a canard, as true as “disconnects whole neighborhoods” if someone leaves their wifi open.
