I've never understood this take. Suppose in the far future some super corporation owns all property on Earth and facilitates all communication through any channel.

Would you still believe "you don't have to interact with Supercorp?" If so, the same is true trivially with a government as well. It's very easy to leave the United States if you want. Even if you couldn't leave, you don't have to speak. After all, you have the right to remain silent.

That aside, you would think a sensible government would prevent a private entity from reaching the heights of its abilities in any area.
