when whatsapp had NOT turned on E2EE, or facebook messenger still hasn't done that, how many were convicted for CSAM and now because of e2ee people like these are "hidden"?

aren't these same "e2ee is protecting child predators" the same argument as "bitcoin is used to buy drugs on dark web"?

did child predators not exist before e2ee that suddenly they have emerged and they need to be stopped ?

suppose tomorrow ALL e2ee is stopped and everyone is chatting in cleartext. what will happen? will suddenly all child predators be unmasked and the world be free of them in an instant?

i am not no where supporting those predators. they are subhuman creatures that need to be slaughtered with a rusty sword but why are 99.999% of human population not going to reap the benefits of e2ee when the "risks" outweigh the beneifts?

why do these people believe all those people will not move to lesser known platforms away from the public eye and continue? what will happen in the end?
