The core issue seems to be, that companies want to profit from the information they can extract from communication and governments don't want to create laws, to make end-to-end encryption mandatory and information extraction illegal, as their own law enforcement depends on it. So the company with the deepest pockets controls our daily communication channels and as consumers we feel powerless due to the network effect. One way to overcome this would be to make it mandatory that communication services must allow federation. Sure, it would not be a perfect solution, but it would be a lot better than the current situation and should be acceptable by all parties involved.
