If a message platform is gov controlled, criminals will use other alternatives that are not monitored, which they probably already do.

What you end up is just having the gov having all information about private citizens, which can be used against us.

For example, the government of Spain constantly shares private citizen data of people near political adversaries for political reasons, also, I don't want people knowing what I share with my girlfriend, regardless of it they do something or not with it publicly.
