You do have to ask about the rights of people who need to communicate securely, maybe with family in other parts of the world with unfriendly governmental actors. Or whistle blowers etc.
If you build in a backdoor for the government, how long before that backdoor is compromised? What about a future government?
I don't want anyone other than myself and intended recipients to be able to access my data. The fact that the same secure platforms are used for illegal purposes doesn't mean we weaken the platform for everyone. We don't ban cars because some people use them illegally or irresponsibly.
