The government are able to access your conversations, data and connections with e2ee in place already. I don't see how not having e2ee would have an effect on that ability in any way.
Myth: End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is the only way to ensure robust cybersecurity.
Reality: E2EE carries its own risks and vulnerabilities. No single, standalone method achieves bulletproof cybersecurity.
Robust cybersecurity requires layering multiple, diligently managed security measures and best practices. Malevolent actors can exploit E2E encryption to avoid critical data security scanning, to allow malware inside a network or onto a device, and to evade law enforcement.
