I'm less worried about overt government censorship (although it has been repeatedly shown during times of protest in other countries and may be attempted here covertly). I'm more worried about total government surveillance.
It's strange to me that many of the same people who are concerned with room 641a are people asking to cut out the private entity, not the government. It's entirely possible that I simply don't know some aspect that would make other government entities less susceptible to this kind of strong-arming, but the DMV here sells change-of-address data, so I remain skeptical.
