what leads you to believe that end to end encrypted communication is a net good for the world? esp in liberal democratic countries where the governments are at least in theory accountable to the people are the costs of letting malevolent actors coordinate worth the benefits? what exactly are those benefits that justify something like kiddie porn being easy to distribute at scale? or are the alleged liberal democracies currently in power more of a fiction than reality? or is it more that someday a less liberal less democratic regime will come into power? steel man positions only

Couldn't you say that's one of the best reasons to be less dogmatic/attached to it? Was created in a fundamentally different context?
