That would be an excellent argument to make in the issue spotter! That said, restricting E2E at a vendor level probably wouldn't be seen as infringing at the individual level - ie restricting E2E software doesn't restrict the ability to send gibberish containing a coded message any more than restricting an ink that (somehow) doubled as a plastic explosive.

Would the Citizens United case apply hear? I'm thinking about corporate personhood arguments.

Citizens United did not establish corporate personhood, and is entirely unrelated here.
