It depends what your goal is.
For example in germany, while i wouldnt trust the government, there are some decent laws the founding fathers made after ww2 that are hard to change.
So just because you use something like tor, signal is not enough. You need to be proven guilty by harder facts so using this is no danger.
- kvdveer 2y agoHaving good laws is not enough, not even if they are hard to change. The Netherlands had decent legal protections for Jewish people, right up to may 15th 1940. After that, those laws didn't protect any of them.

- thephyber 2y agoThere are two likely ways I could interpret your parent regarding crime. One is that they worry that if only criminals use the tool, the tool will be targeted by legislators and simple possession/ usage of the tool will eventually be criminalized. The other is that there needs to be a crowd of innocent people to hide the guilty person and make the investigators / prosecutors work hard to find other corroborating evidence of the crime (not just using the channel of comms). A third that has nothing to do with crime is that all people deserve to have strong privacy and we should normalize using a very secure method of comms.
