This comment sounds like “there is no particular technical obstacles for any nation to start and complete an Apollo Program equivalent”

Terrorists don't need an information exchange channel to be a nice looking app with great UX, stickers and animated emojis.

Even regular GPG-encrypted email using random rarely used email addresses will work quite fine.

These algorithms already exist. They are stored on criminal harddrives and aren't going to magically vanish with new laws.

Making an Apollo program requires a bit more than ctrl+v.

If you do the key exchange face-to-face, all you need is some bytes from /dev/random for the key, and the cryptographic algorithm Data XOR Key. They can't outlaw the XOR operator and they can't "backdoor" all random number sources (not even the most trivial ones), so the idea that it is even remotely possible to obtain political control of encryption is quite insane.
