A counter argument for blocking e2ee because of sharing CP/Terrorism can be split in two parts:

1) If you have proof that they are sharing it then you simply do a criminal trial base based on that proof. No need to block e2ee because you already have proof.

2) If you do not have proof then you are assuming guilt without proof, and that is the opposite of how our justice system should operate. Innocent until proven guilty. No need to block e2ee, because you have not shown that any concrete person is breaking the law. And if you did show it, then look at point 1)

And thus we have exhausted both possible options, and in both cases there is no need to block e2ee.
