IMHO we are in fact facing a choice: make it easier for criminals to communicate, or live in a glass-house panopticon. I don't think there's a middle ground. There's no way to weaken or break crypto... without weakening or breaking crypto. Freedom with (perhaps) a bit more crime, or totalitarian surveillance state. Take your pick. Neither of these choices is perfect, but nature seldom provides perfect choices or 100% downside-free options.
