> People who will want to conceal contents of their messages could still send them encrypted via WhatsApp or other platform

(Yes, this has serious enforceability problems, but that doesn't mean it can't become law)

How will you prove what I possess is encrypted data and not random bits?

No, how will you prove that it's random data and not encrypted data? What if you're ordered to provide a password to decrypt it or go to jail?

It's up to the prosecution to prove their case against me, not vice versa. (At least in the USA.)

If you have a suicide-bomber, I doubt they will care much about the 10 year prison sentence.

The "Terrorists" really don't care about the law or the prison sentence behind breaking it.
