1 is merely an accident of history and a subjective question of what you consider a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Even if 2 is true, I doubt that system is preventing people from discussing controversial subjects like, say, climate change or politics, even if what the speakers are saying is untrue.
1. Post and phone have an expectation of privacy so the government can't review them (in the US, at least)
2. There is already a system in place to review all phone calls in real time. It's run by several Western intelligence agencies to get around the monitoring rules mentioned in #1.
