It's the same as what's going on worldwide. With more and more of our interactions moving to the internet, it's become harder for law enforcement to track what's going on. Where they could in the past for example intercept someone's mail and with a warrant potentially open it, that's now not really possible any more. They want that ability again, but now online. With E2E that's of course not possible.
At the same time law enforcement agencies across the world are salivating at the idea of being able to automatically detect crime at scale. To do so they need massive amounts of personal information. This would mean a massive invasion of privacy, but they argue that it's worth it to prevent crime.
Personally I completely disagree with that point of view, as I believe there are better ways to detect crime without having to go through everyone's laundry, but there you have it.
