The Nation-state is basically an informational entity, a centralized bureaucracy that keeps its subjects together. It is natural that it wants to monitor and control communications among its people. But maybe people value their personal freedom more than their trust in the nation-state. I don't know if we are at that point yet. But maybe we will find that our personal freedoms are incompatible with the concept of nation-states

Perhaps you mean states. The nation-state is a political entity with overlapping ethnic boundaries. There aren't meany of them (Japan is sometimes cited as an example).
