If you lived in a country with strict media censorship would you oppose its relaxation just because you felt that bad people would exploit the resulting situation? I've read somewhere that over the last decades people in Western countries have accepted a gradual diminution of their civil liberties in order to protect society from terrorists. That's how totalitarian regimes have persuaded populations before, in fact Goering explained how it works at his trial. Privacy should be the default and just because bad people will exploit that is no reason to deprive society at large of it. The police etc will just need to work with that limitation.
