The act of communication isn't itself a crime. See: bitcoin blockchain. There are numerous reports on various data on the blockchain that are very illegal, but now cryptographically permanent, unless they fork it and eliminate the corruption. IIRC, the criminals who did that got caught. If it were known you were trafficking in that kind of stuff, then hell yes, get that due process in motion. It doesn't matter if they're babbling binary, sending pigeons, or using smoke signals at that point - the underlying crime is the CSAM possession, distribution, etc, and should be pursued relentlessly. "Ahhh, but what if someone does a horrible thing involving crimes against children!" is not valid justification for throwing out civil liberties and basic right to privacy, freedom of communication, association, freedom of the press, and so forth. You don't need to discard the latter in service of prosecuting and preventing the former. With regards to the terrorist attack plans, is it satire? Is it research for a Seal Team 6 show or book? Are you deeply considering how to beef up your own security, or maybe thinking about what you think of national security policies? Maybe you're planning an epic podcast series that explores historic attacks, and the tactics and strategies used in execution and prevention of attacks. Is it just vengeful fantasizing? Again, if there's cause, we have due process for that. You don't throw out basic fundamental civil liberties because scary words. And don't even get me started on copyright. That system needs to be nuked from orbit. Razed, burned to the bedrock, salted over, and completely rebuilt from scratch, with no grandfathering, exceptions, or acknowledgement of previous rights, with absolutely no consideration given to third party rights transfers, extending rights periods, or any of the godawful stupid games lawyers play these days to screw everyone out of their money without providing any concurrent value to the system whatsoever. Freedom is terrifying. Get used to it, then build policy. Maximize the agency and liberty of good faith individuals, and incentivize people to be the best they can be. Ruthlessly protect liberty and principles of freedom against any and all threats, regardless of how politically convenient violations and suppression of rights might be in the moment. If you treat every individual in a society like an incompetent moron without the capacity to decide how they should live, then you incentivize sociopaths and bad faith actors and morons to positions of power where they will rapidly spin the society out into destructive cycles. Bad people exist. Most people aren't bad. Build a world where it's more beneficial for everyone to act good, where you protect the rights of every individual from abuse and exploitation, and put the responsibility for their lives onto the individuals living it. Make extreme invasion of privacy an exceptional, unusual thing that requires extreme justification. Where we are at now is abominable.
