If you encrypt something, isn't it because you're trying to hide child molestation and sexual exploitation footage?

"Think of the children" is one of the most powerful cards there is, and it will be played in full force by governments, only less elegantly than you just did.

I think the best way to counter this argument to people who don't know what they're talking about is to tell them that encryption is what keeps hackers from stealing their bank details, etc.
