Tinfoil hat theory: government trying to disrupt protests by breaking down communications and disrupting live streams

The DDOS on the Anonymous twitter might be relevant given timing. All happened around an hour ago.

It appears to be only T-Mobile that is down presently (https://twitter.com/NevilleRay/status/1272624569707184128), likely that those making calls to T-Mobile phones are representing outages on their networks.
Yeah this is something. They all seem to have started at the same time.
Just got one of those annoying alerts on my phone. Saying “Loccal cell phone carriers are experiencing outages” and an alternative number for 9-1-1 calls.
As of right now looks like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and many others.
Does the cell network have a single point of failure which could explain these concurrent outages across carriers? I have a (somewhat crude) mental model of how the internet works, so if this were a nationwide internet outage I would at least have an inkling of whether it was an accidental misconfiguration, bad actor launching an attack, etc. I have no such model for the cell network!
