>A/I’s cadre of radical hackers and tech developers provide a full spectrum of services – including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools [...] while remaining anonymous, untraceable, and beyond the reach of the law.
ignoring the political leanings, this type of rhetoric will certainly be used to further the campaign against encryption, bolster the case for id verification requirements, etc. it paints the use of everyday normal tools: email, web hosting, etc. as inherently bad if they are private.
And it will have the effect of making these tools more popular, as it boldly proclaims how effective they are against even nation-state–level threats.

it boldly proclaims how effective they are against even rogue nation-state–level threats.
There, FTFY.
it almost reads like an advertisement! Secure video conferencing!
That's probably the point of it?
"We're murdering people and they have the audacity to organise against us"!
A/I mails weren't e2e encrypted.
not sure if that's relevant.
the announcement specifically calls out "encrypted chats and email" and implies that it's a bad thing because it is private
