The rhetoric of "not allowing a safe space for terrorists to communicate" is complete bullshit.

Terrorists can communicate using a book cipher or pick from any of a huge number of other options. The kind of terrorists we should actually be concerned about (competent ones) will already use extra measures such as this in conjunction with strong encryption.

This is totalitarianism.
