These types of organizations learn to build their own submarines to transport drugs all over the world undetected. I think they can manage a fork of Signal/Session with any backdoors removed.

Indeed.

With sufficient motivation (money is a great motivator), everything is possible, especially if not doing X will remove said money, and/or put you in jail.

It's not even like they need to fork Signal/Session, they could get by with GPG encrypting a gist and uploading that, sharing the link in signal or wherever.

As I initially wrote, weakening encryption only harms law abiding citizens, as everybody criminal probably faces much worse charges than breaking encryption laws.
