It is widely known that AT&T loves censorship.  They love censorship

everything to do with content.

How does breaking things (censorship) make them more money?

AT&T does not have the right to filter what their users can access,
period.  You can put all the spin on it that you want, but in the end
it's about content.

Whatever happened to "My network, my rules?" If AT&T blocks something, and as an AT&T customer, you don't like it, get your connectivity from someone else.
