There’s no need for a technical solution to this problem, anymore than there is a technical need to solve the problem of two people being able to have a conversation privately behind closed doors. Law enforcement has a lot of options and users having to have their devices treat them like a potential criminal wouldn’t be worth a moderate improvement in solving cases, less the negligible improvement that it would actually yield. If criminals were actually super advanced and air tight, you would not need to worry about backdooring chat apps. They just wouldn’t use them. But since criminals tend to be flawed humans, there is a lot of room to find other avenues. Just like in real life, where cases are routinely solved even though we can’t actually hear every private conversation that occurred behind closed doors. I do understand that E2EE chat is more powerful than conversation behind closed doors, but so is government dragnets, 0day exploit kits, etc. Ironically, extracting digital communications off of devices has actually become a cornerstone of court cases, even when encrypted chat is used.
