Sounds like this will start another push in the US to eliminate E2E Encryption or at the very least force the use of back-doors.

Seems this will never end. I heard about a push 1 year or 2 ago, but I have not heard much since. So, here we go again.

There is no widespread use of end-to-end encryption beyond 1:1 chats and small groups.

Discord, Telegram, and similar platforms do not use end to end encryption. So I would read this as "we need to get even better at monitoring literally all public or semi-public means of communication".

You're assuming that the push will follow reasonable conclusions. That's now how government works. They will try to come after encryption, they will use an event like this to do it if not this one, and I believe they will fail.
