nationalized by which government?
- jiggunjer 5y agoAll of them ofc. Instead of a few companies controlling an essential service, what's stopping a government from offering every citizen an address at yourid@govmail.country?
- 0xbadcafebee 5y agoHere's a list of nationalized postal services: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_postal_services https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_postal_servic... Nationalized digital mail isn't that much of a stretch. You can still run private digital mail, just like you can hire private physical mail couriers. But probably it won't happen. Capitalist countries prefer private industry does things. E-mail could become a regulated utility, though.
- alex_duf 5y agoMy point (albeit subtly made) was that there isn't a central authority that controls emails, you can't just buy emails and then run it as a national service. And that's before you look into which government runs what.
