Not at all.

You make encryption a crime. You ban certain apps. It won't stop people using encryption but that doesn't matter. Because just the act of using it makes you a dissident that can be dealt with.

Even if they can't read the message and it's not illegal you can still be guilty by association. The act of sending a message can be tracked.

There has been countless situations of that even outside the realm of instant messaging.
