Here's a question that's been intriguing me a while. What would be the harms of a ban on end-to-end encryption in mass-market products? People feel safe using Gmail and Telegram routinely for sensitive stuff. What argument do you have for E2E for civilians that really resonates?

Practical impossiblities of a backdoor aside, one of the problems is one of the primary reasons you'd want end-to-end encryption is when your government turns fascist and you want to talk without them reading it. Exactly the scenario a backdoor would make impossible.

You know, like the path the US is on already. In general, a government that is scared of its people communicating without oversight is the last government that should get a backdoor.

The best I could come up with, slogan wise, was "if it's available to law enforcement, it's available to every single IT guy working for law enforcement".
-
But that applies just as much to Gmail, right?

Employers monitoring the private conversations of their employees, outside working hours and in contexts unrelated to work.

Also, of course, the ability for anyone to ever organize anything political in nature without being monitored, but that's not something most people in the US can relate to.

The problem with "just for law enforcement" is that it never is. There was a story not long back about an anti-terror database access for LEOs that was... used almost entirely against fly-tippers by local councils
-
Not to mention the misuse by LEOs to stalk and abuse current or former romantic partners, which again is very common
