How do we actually beat this narrative? I've been proposing a E2EE-based chat application to my friend, and they asked me a similar question: won't it just be rife with pedophiles? How can you make a platform that will be used to that means?
I have strong views about privacy as a fundamental human right, but I don't know how to answer that question. I certainly don't want to make the world worse, but this feels like a lesser of two evils type of deal: either make it even harder to catch bad actors, such as child abusers, or make it plausible that your government take away your freedom forever.
Instead of the word cheering we could use letting.
Bad people flourish over the inaction of good people.
(but yes, there are always several who protect and argue for things risking their own and everyone's livelihood, exposing themselves to shady elements, along singled out and elevated thin aspects, cannot understood why)
Many people do, unfortunately, so long as it's framed as "only terrorists and pedophiles need encryption that cops can't break".

I suppose it is conflating lack of trust in government / law enforcement with criminal matters.
Don’t give power over yourself to people with a proven history of misusing it, according to your values. You don’t have to look hard for examples.
Most politicians are.
