a lot of fools beleive that if they facilitate the means somehow they will be free to do so.

Your rights do not matter. Laws do not matter.

If your technology is used by someone for bad, then someone trying to prevent that bad will some day come knocking. Law or not. Rights or not.

The only thing you can thus do is protect yourself. If you get taken out, that is you relying on your Rights and Laws. They dont exist and wont protect you.
