I am not sure I’d be using any mass communication platform that is primarily developed and/or funded by any government.

One could argue you're using one now.

No, not really. We've come a long way from ARPANET. Pretty much every large data network is privatized. The foundations working on funding FOSS might even get some of their money from Governments, but they are reasonably independent.

Anyway, my point is less about radical pro- or anti- government and more about asking "Cui bono?" if I suddenly heard about increased interest from any State Government to get more involved into specific FOSS projects.
