"Unfortunately, as an unintended consequence of the method used, some
Internet users received errant traffic from one of our network
switches. A handful happened to be AT&T customers.

In the end, this wasn't a sinister act of censorship, but rather a bit
of a mistake and a poorly executed, disproportionate response on
AT&T's part."
