Would nationalising the broadband provider remove a barrier to increased surveillance?

It would probably remove barriers to censorship. Both main parties are reasonably hostile to free speech but Labour (or it's supporters) seem to me to be more hostile to "fake news" etc

This is AFAICT the only genuine argument against the policy. But it’s being drowned out by hysteria over nationalising openreach, an omnishambles of an organisation if there ever was one.
