-- I'm curious too about the ATT/google/facebook/internet thing. --

AT&T splits off 100% of the information traffic it handles to the NSA.

I take the Google/FB phrase as an exhortation to push back against those companies' practice of shaping output to favor leftists. Google and FB are just an extension of the fakenews phenomenon, where the input to the public at large gives the impression that the leftists are strong in number, and so on.

I don't understand the relationship implied between AT&T and Google/FB with "AT&T>GOOG/FB/etc."

random thoughts; not sure of my assumptions:

Not too long ago, I saw a squib that social media companies were officially warned not to continue censorship. Perhaps government will go forward to treat social media companies as they treat public communication companies under FCC? /WAG

“I don't understand the relationship implied between AT&T and Google/FB with “AT&T>GOOG/FB/etc.” “

I believe this is referring to (2) issues: (1) AT&T just signed a billion dollar deal with the NSC; (2) Q's reference to an “Internet Bill of Rights.”

I believe Q is suggesting that NSA white hats are pressuring AT&T to sign onto an Internet Bill of Rights, which would do the exact opposite of “Net Neutrality.” NN was a fraud because it allowed ISPs (such as AT&T) to be “neutral” but allowed edge or content providers like FB, Twitter, Youtube, etc to discriminate against conservative, Christian and libertarian content.

The proposed “Internet Bill of Rights” would require both ISP providers (AT&T) as well as content providers to be truly neutral. I think Q is suggesting that a big part of AT&T landing this deal with the NSA was it's presumed agreement to pursue this Bill of Rights.
