I'd vote for testing this mass chat control on politicians and CEOs of the companies that want this mass control. Let's say for the next 10 years? Or 20? Pretty sure the results will be great. For people, for justice, for democracy.

That won't happen. What will happen is that functionality will be there, on paper requiring your consent, but you'll never know how many times they've used it without consent.

They will read your correspondence, find threats to their power, make sure by soft nudges that those never materialize.

People saying that USSR was democratic will get to live in one, only without even the ideology of "freeing the humanity, building communism and colonizing space".
