If you have to lock up the very people you want to defend, in order to protect them from themselves, perhaps the country isn’t worth defending.
Doesn't that make sense from a defense standpoint? If my house was under seige from a gang like let's say, the police.
And my kids started posting pictures and videos from the inside of the house showing that I am not watching the back windows. Doesn't that make attack very trivial?
People even unwittingly can post a vulnerability that americans and isrealis would immediately jump on.
It's not really a difficult calculation to make. Whether that is a good or bad system depends on other centralization factors more so than comms channels.
