And trusting people to have free speech is definitely going to be abused by people who want to say controversial things. And trusting people to use encryption is definitely going to be abused by criminals who want to commit crimes. And trusting people to own kitchen knives is definitely going to be abused by people who want to stab others.

Yes, we can all make factually true, but totally irrelevant arguments that don't change anything.

You're talking about the rights of individuals. A person has the right to free speech and a person has the right not to be harassed.

A person does not have the right to be trusted, but can expect to be taken seriously on a claim of harassment if they have earned trust or if they provide evidence to back up the allegation.
