AT&T is a common carrier. You'd have to, I don't know, get Youtube categorized as a common carrier. It's not like that's controversial a fight that Google has won every time it's come up. It's not like there are laws in places like NY that explicitly exempt information systems from being considered common carriers.
We're a long way from being able to casually make a comparison between AT&T and Youtube that will be taken seriously.

- busymom0 5y agoYep. Only way to solve this is to change the laws to force any Big Tech/Corporations/Banks with over 1 million daily active user-content generating users in the USA to be declared common carriers. And this can be joined by other countries to make it global and thus put pressure on the CCP.
