We want government to run or regulate these systems as long as we trust the government but what happens when we don't trust the government anymore?
Like for example if in this years midterms there's a Congressional supermajority, and then the president is elected from that same party two years later and the courts are of that party.
Will we really want government regulations if things?
There would be widespread mistrust by many groups of people of the government having a single party in charge.
Now that government regulations are established and approved they can be used by the government at their will.

- edmcnulty101 4y agoMany governments don't though. If you think about it modern U.S. is a pretty rare phenomenon throughout history and it's not guaranteed to continue forever.
- account42 4y agoIf you don't trust your government then you have bigger issues. And that governmant could always choose to start to regulate Twitter to their advantage if they have that much public support no matter what regulations there are now. Also, I think if any single party can get that much of a majority (or even just a majority on its own) then your already have an extremely unhealthy democracy even if such setups are quite common in "developed" countries.
