The above case was with FB messenger which is (was?) not e2e encrypted and since Meta already had the data they were obliged to comply with a court-issued warrant.

With E2EE, they can legally skirt such demands since they can claim they don't have the data so that's a win for them as well.

E2EE on platforms like FB Messenger means absolutely nothing to me if their client apps are closed-source.
