Where on the scale of government priorities should be the ability for people to communicate with each other, i.e., government-funded communication infrastructure?
Consider a government that prioritizes it way higher, sacrificing other things in the process. The idea is that if people can communicate, they can organize to accomplish anything else through private means. Dubious, given the many other public goods.
Many devilish details about the form of communication. Would extremely legally well protected private communication have a drastic effect on society? People could subversively organize, forcing the government to act as if under the sword of Damocles.
Vaguely inspired by the Walled City of Kowloon, wondering what minimal government services would help such a city.
