what leads you to believe that end to end encrypted communication is a net good for the world? esp in liberal democratic countries where the governments are at least in theory accountable to the people are the costs of letting malevolent actors coordinate worth the benefits? what exactly are those benefits that justify something like kiddie porn being easy to distribute at scale? or are the alleged liberal democracies currently in power more of a fiction than reality? or is it more that someday a less liberal less democratic regime will come into power? steel man positions only

Its easier to uproot small malevolent uprising or groups than resisting deepstate totalitarian control. It's safer to assume the majority of the general public have basic morality than to hope small group of authorities have good intentions. Identifying malevolent actors and allowing for decentralized judgement is the way to go.
