That's a terrible analogy, for two reasons.
1. Post and phone have an expectation of privacy so the government can't review them (in the US, at least)
2. There is already a system in place to review all phone calls in real time. It's run by several Western intelligence agencies to get around the monitoring rules mentioned in #1.
- Silhouette 6y ago1 is merely an accident of history and a subjective question of what you consider a reasonable expectation of privacy. Even if 2 is true, I doubt that system is preventing people from discussing controversial subjects like, say, climate change or politics, even if what the speakers are saying is untrue.
