> How are we supposed to prevent them from doing these bad things? Are we necessarily able to prevent these bad things from happening? Right now, we aren't able to entirely stop crime from happening. Why would we necessarily be able to stop these types of crimes from happening? It's all a question of whether we want to give up certain freedoms in exchange for increased safety (or sense of safety). It's not very complicated, it's just a balance of one thing (freedom) versus another (safety). Different people will value these two things differently, and I'm not sure I can make an argument that choosing safety over freedom is necessarily a "bad" choice. That being said, I'm not in favor of the government banning private communication. But I understand that there are people who are, and their reasoning.
