<Companies> are getting too much power to distort regulations and destroy privacy.

Taxes pay for the physical car roads, so why shouldn't they also pay for the "online roads" of today?

The following services are obvious picks because they are so simple:
* <electronic money>
* <email>
* <messaging software>
* <calendar>
* <OAuth>, e.g.: https://franceconnect.gouv.fr/
* <domain name>

Other less simple ones that might also be feasible:
* <geographic information system>. Notable anti-example: <United Kingdom>'s <Ordnance Survey>'s apparently non-free-data
* App stores

All of them should have strong privacy enabled by default: <end-to-end encryption>, logless, etc. <Governments> are not going to like this part.

And then if you ever forget a password or lose a <multi-factor authentication> token, you can just go to an ID center with your ID to recover it.
