This presumably would criminalize E2E encryption apps like iMessage, FB, Whatsapp, Signal etc. All of these are popular enough on their own that I don't see how you can reasonably go this approach. We'll find out quickly though about which clients have backdoors based on the exception list.

do any of those services anonymize the social graph?

Signal certainly does. That’s what they’re famous for.
