The solution has been explained over and over, time and time again: federal prosecutors need to prioritize investigation of such crimes in a targeted manner. Note the government's record on doing their job on this issue is somewhat problematic: > "FBI opens settlement talks with gymnasts who survived abuse by Larry Nassar Updated July 28, 20224:27 PM ET (NPR)" I don't know why it needs to be said again and again that the existence of criminal behavior isn't an excuse for warrantless domestic mass surveillance, but apparently it does.

I agree and think that HUGE whistle blower awards including up to re-location as part of Witness Protection Program would help a lot. There are people in bad personal situations that feel "trapped" but have the knowledge that these crimes (and others like trafficking are happening).

  One issue without E2EE is that even WITHOUT a lawful warrant, USGOV can (and does en masse) access/seize data not (or not yet) pertaining to a criminal or counterintelligence investigation.

  The issue with private dwellings is it allows the citizen to destroy his contraband/evidence, so even WITH a lawful warrant, the US gov cannot access/seize it until it’s too late. #endprivatedwellings #camerasineverybathroom #thefourthamendmentispropedophile

  That's not an issue - just means you need to seize the end devices... If there's a victim (say, of grooming), they should be able to provide all the content from their side.

  Presumably the content isn't encrypted at rest on the device, or if it is, it could be decrypted by the phone owner (parent, child) to help aid an investigation. E2EE is not the issue when one party discloses the info, excepting mechanisms like plausible deniability built into apps like Signal, but even at that point LE should be able to get a warrant and then do proper police work: stalk the target under cover until they unlock their device, then rush in and grab it before they can put it back to rest (e.g, how it was portrayed in the Silk Road movie).
