That was my first thought as well. Look out for more "[unpopular group] uses [encrypted service] to break the rules" articles coming soon.

Well, it is an easy way to "sell" these things...

Anyway, I've got two: paedophiles and terrorist.

Apparently, traders have now joined that elite. I'm just surprised bankers didn't make it there first... given the public sentiment. (I'm not sure I have any position (heh) on the matter myself.)

Texting while driving does actually kill, but there is a less definable/unpopular "them" to target.

That, and encrypted texting while driving is just as dangerous as unencrypted texting while driving.

In that case, however, it does not matter if the messages are encrypted or not.
