For every legitimate case you'd see 10x of shit you wouldn't want to touch with a long pole, ever. Unfortunately, that's life. Ultimately, your question is that of ethics, so the answer depends on you. It's only you who can decide if the benefits of providing journalists and freedom fighters (presumably those aligned with your world views) with secure messaging will balance out all the harm it will do when abused and misused. One (sort-of) solution here is to provide a self-hosted version of the system only. This will still have the same ethical baggage attached to it, but it will be somewhat dampened by the fact that you aren't directly enabling and facilitating any shady stuff. Not promoting it and keeping it reserved for your circle is another workaround.
