Right! The point isn’t to ban E2EE it’s the design your chat system in such a way that it’s less effort for the worst actors to go somewhere else and pay lip service to the FBI. I don’t think any of these would actually solve the problem. Just that we might have a popular E2EE chat service that could survive the political fight.
If as a layman I had to guess another way to catch them it would be to go to the source. Follow cases of missing children. Investigate reported child abuse. Once you have caught one of them you are free seize their computer and use it to honey pot all their contacts, with e2e encryption so the contacts believe it's person you just caught.
