I'm quite sure more drug deals have been and are arranged through AT&T's network than the Silk Road.

Completely irrelevant. Many more drug deals have probably been arranged through email than through Silk Road too. SR's express purpose was to provide a marketplace for drug vendors to sell to drug buyers.

My point is that both entities are drug marketplaces, thus they should not be treated differently when it comes to warrants and other legalities.
