If the main kernal or heart of the AT&T operating system(s) of the 1970's was in fact the root which Microsoft, Apple, Linux, and others, etc, may have stole from, stem from, evolved from, in this tree, completely or to an extent at least, and if AT&T as a phone company cartel and/or monopoly, previously or currently, is in fact a utility according to governmental regulations, funding, and/or whatever, then does that mean or would that mean that many operating systems (OS) on servers, desktops towers, laptop computers, devices, phones, smart devices, units, etc, are therefore part of that utility to any extent to grant some kind of liability protection or something relating to how they could be platforms and not publishers and that they should then not be allowed to censor, spy, sell our metadata, to manipulate, hide, influence, suppress, etc, etc, on the Internet, via the CIA, China, MI6, etc,etc, etc, I do in fact wonder.
