Honestly in practice I'm not sure there's much difference. A "nationalized" utility would still be regulated by legislation to behave "correctly" when operated by the executive branch. See e.g. USPS.

I think the difference between the USPS--which has laws preventing it from making a profit--and a US-based tech firm that profits by selling user data to advertisers would be a massive one.
