I have no doubt they can do it.

I don't think they should be in control of our communication though. I don't trust them with my privacy or not to use it to exert political control over the people.

I want regulations. A government willing to set rules and to enforce those rules.

The problem here is neither can really be trusted long term. The main advantage I see to governments is that there would be forced transparency.
