You can read it right from AOL's site too.

I wonder, does this mean if terrorist use AIM, then AOL is somehow supporting and claiming ownership over terrorist plans? lol

If so could we sue AOL for not preventing aforemented plans of being executed ?

Anyways, silly stuff imho, Very very very dangerous, in essence they can have a 24/7 monitor on your chat behaviour.

To name a few. All of these support Jabber, I believe... Not postive about Miranda, but it likely does.
None of which will do you any good because the agreement covers -accounts-, not the program.

If you use these, you're still subject to the AOL TOS, and they -still- claim ownership of everything you send to an AIM user.

I think he was recommending the Jabber chat service in this case, over AIM, MSN, etc. - not saying using the listed chat clients with existing AIM accounts etc.

Right, but not over Jabber, which is what I was mentioning them for.
