Actually, it could be that whatever filtering device AT&T is using learns what you're browsing. At my school we use a system that allows us to block certain types of sites. As students browse to sites that we don't allow, but have yet to be blocked, the system scans the code of the site. If it finds something relating to a blocked rule, then the site gets blocked.

I love to see the faces of kids when a site just suddenly gets blocked that was open previously. It's even more entertaining to see them all point and blame me for doing so, when really, it's all them. Hahaha, the wonders of being a student IT guy.
