There are many technologies which are double-edged swords.

Encryption can keep things which need to be kept secret safe. They can also keep things which ought to be made open safe.

Anything can and will be abused by people who want to use it to hide what they are doing. That includes criminals.

But if every history-changing invention could have been stopped because of the potential of abuse, we'd not be where we are today.

The premise that needs to be fought is the suggestion that there can be no such thing as a private conversation.
