Instead of blaming #E2EE encryption for all the evils in this world, and trying to dismantle it on a weekly basis, your government should pay its police forces to do what they're supposed to do: run investigations, get mandates, sneak into the channels used by criminals (and only those used by criminals), while leaving everybody else alone.
If your police forces are lazy, ineffective or don't even know where to start when it comes to investigating criminal rings, then you should find better people for that job rather than lowering the privacy bar for everyone else.
So far we have caught more drug traffickers by snooping into their Signal chats than by preaching for the end of E2EE for everyone else too.
