Ther are ways around many of the issues the big boys introduce.

In this case it looks like corrupt DNS records, but from where?

I  suspect that teh pi os n default dhcp and is using default dns, which
may be AT&T's rather than one locally cahced by thee Pi.

“it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.”
