Let's explain it with a basic meme
reply
What if I think the government is evil. Is that a crime? ;)
reply
Apply the same logic. Is your thinking continued with a physical action that can do harm? If remain only at "thinking" then is harmless to anybody.

That violates my right to never have my views challenged.

Although encryption itself is not illegal in most countries, in fact it's widely used and encouraged for protecting data privacy and securing communications—like when you use online banking, messaging apps, or shopping websites.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
  1. Regulations vary by country: Some countries have strict laws around encryption. For example:
In China and Russia, the government requires access to encrypted communications or mandates the use of approved encryption tools.
In India, businesses may need to store decrypted versions of encrypted data in certain cases.
In countries like the U.S., encryption is legal, but law enforcement can request decryption with a warrant.
  1. Using encryption to commit crimes is illegal: If someone uses encryption to hide illegal activity (like terrorism, fraud, or trafficking), then the activity is illegal—not the encryption itself.
  2. Export controls: Some countries (like the U.S.) have regulations on exporting strong encryption technologies to other countries due to national security concerns.

Run your own XMPP instance on a server and get your family and friends to download the Conversations app - enable end to end encryption.
Stop giving your personal files and photos to cloud service providers like Google and Apple. Use apps like Syncthing and Photoprism for this instead.
They can't ban or break encryption if you do it your self. Its just maths.
Become digitally sovereign.
