So how will this work, if this becomes law? Ok, I understand whatsapp and signal and whatnot will have to change their code inorder to be able to provide cleartext messages for the goverment.

But there are other, maybe less known apps. Will all github repos that try to achieve e2ee be shut down? Won’t such apps just move to Tor?

We can compare it to anything that's already illegal, like distributing child porn for example. What do you think happens to github repos that distribute child porn? Won't they just move to Tor? Enforcement of one illegal bitstream is the same as enforcement of another illegal bitstream.
