Well, since we know that AT&T are forwarding all calls to the NSA, and Sony already has installed rootkits onto peoples computers, I would say that no, we are not comparing them at all. We already know the levels that those two companies will go, but we might be able to trust the website.
The Sony "rootkit" wasn't actually a rootkit. It used a similar technique to some rootkits to 'hide' itself from the user/other software, after the user had knowingly installed it.
I have no idea about the AT&T 'forward all calls to the NSA', but I'd expect that would be logistically impossible.

ho hum, that sounds like a rootkit definition to me. or what's your beloved corporation's definition of this?
