This is the unfortunate nature of _all_ privacy preserving technologies. Signal, whole disk encryption, the password to a user's iphone backup -- these are _all_ more beneficial to criminals than to the layperson. It so happens that, until very recently, our government keepers have enjoyed unfettered access to data about our lives on a scale that is unprecedented. We will continue to see this same battle "privacy is only to the benefit of criminals" play out over and over in every medium. For me, I prefer privacy and for government investigators to be forced to do their job. This has the unfortunate (for Americans) side effect of unraveling much of the American financial hegemony.
