I kind of agree. But I get the opinion that provision of basic infrastructure like water supply, electricity, roads, railroad tracks and telecommunications should be handled by a democratic government instead of a profit-oriented enterprise... And additionally, I tend to trust an elected government more than any enterprise that can basically do whatever they want

It hasn't been an issue in the US. The telecoms voluntarily provide sensitive customer info to the government.

Ironic then that if you had sent those same communications through the government-organized postal service that it would be much more difficult to legally divulge that info to other parts of the government.
