Hypotheticals: What if your platform is causing a growth in the crime rate? What if your platform is enabling new forms of crime and potentially on an unprecedented scale? Is it justified then?

For the first one it depends on how much growth and in what crimes specifically.

For the second one, maybe, but I seriously doubt icloud encryption is going to do that.

Either way, just talking about baselines and percents is a good improvement over just "this would decrease crime". Add in the downsides too and you have yourself a good platform for discussion!
