This is what you get with industry consolidations. If there was more fierce competition, AT&T wouldn't dare do this. It's also one of the many reasons why it's bad for an ISP to own content companies and services, too. Draconian censorship of the whole network becomes almost inevitable once that happens. See Google as another example of company that greatly expanded censorship efforts after it bought and then tried to monetize YouTube, music and movie services, etc. Once "platforms" start serving their own content on the same platform, it's all downhill for the user from that point, as the companies also start using anti-competitive measures against competing services on the same platform (Google downranking Yelp and shopping comparison sites, ISPs banning or throttling certain competing services, etc).
