IMO the most realistic way to improve this situation is to get more people using E2EE chat apps, and fight against any attempt by government to weaken or ban encryption.

Meta the company hates this and is spending money on ads trying to get people to use WhatsApp with end to end encryption for things like this.

Even with E2EE doesn't META know who is messaging who on Whatsapp? This doesn't seem completely secure. Briar is distributed and uses Tor to hide user IPs.

Yes, but it's not realistic to believe people will use apps like Briar. The user experience is not good enough.
