This seems to be the basis of the government's "blame the technology companies" line: a broadcast message on Telegram.https://twitter.com/Telegraph/status/871369703628963840 …
Very hard to prevent that kind of signal, but what really hurts the intelligence services is they can't tell who receives it.

If it were transmitted via a dedicated server, ISPs could trace people connecting to it, but on Telegram they're camouflaged by other users

Govt noise is possibly intended to put pressure on these providers to allow more monitoring / tracing of users

Availability of end-to-end encryption doesn't invalidate that, since direct links give away *more* to traffic analysis.

Alternatively, government could be as ignorant of the technology situation as they seem, that's hardly far-fetched.
