I mean, if these guys need so much help doing encryption, they'd never even be able to access an encrypted help desk in the first place.
No, just like basic access to the Internet, basic access to darknet resources is now but a click away. That's a good thing for everyone, not just criminals or those who need the security.

An uncensorable early version of the net, people are talking and sharing freely with each other, it's working.
I don't know if Johnny can encrypt, but we keep hearing rumors that Muhammad can.
