Overheard a librarian say Signal is banned in 12 countries now, is she right?

She was talking to a patron about how some governments block encrypted apps for 'security' but others use them to hide from surveillance. Which side do you fall on - is encryption more about freedom for activists or a tool for criminals to avoid the law?
