Is this about adding E2EE to the common platforms? Pedophiles and terrorists are already using E2EE I would think, so this is really about government being able to spy on everyone. They don't have that ability IRL, why should they online? More importantly, what are the macro consequences of government access to everyone's private communications, and especially, the oppressive effect on free speech etc when everyone is aware they are being monitored (I do sometimes wonder if Snowden was more 'deliberate leak' than 'whistleblower').
