To me this reads like a list of BGP / DNS spoofing targets

Perhaps, not sure I fully get what you mean. Just reads like google and facebook is sucking up every single piece of information they can get their hands on, to me

If I were to change hats, and wanted to fuck with a lot of websites, I'd be targeting DNS and BGP / routing information for the top sites on that list, since so many websites use them. Either malware insertion or DOS / MiTM attacks by sending those calls off on merry routes that i've set up.
