And trusting people to have free speech is definitely going to be abused by people who want to say controversial things. And trusting people to use encryption is definitely going to be abused by criminals who want to commit crimes.

You're talking about the rights of individuals. A person has the right to free speech and a person has the right not to be harassed.
