I don’t really understand the criticism here. AT&T was putting out a lifestyle advert – “we’re an important part of your life and will be” – and we’re to criticize it for not saying “we’re going to build technology that will upend the basic social cornerstones of your life”? I mean, all ads like this are a little silly (e.g., the touch, the feel of cotton; got milk; etc.) but sorry they didn’t want to telegraph the potential for what middle America would then (and probably still) regard as perversion.
