US law is certainly one jurisdiction, one which routinely compels the sharing of metadata of E2EE users and their conversations, and one which is trying very hard to remove a number of protections currently enjoyed by US-based service providers through legislation such as KOSA and EARN-IT.
Also, social media companies are not common carriers. That's a very different thing (like ISPs, telcos, and railroads.)

@benpate Also, even if I enjoyed all the protections in the world, I am not in the E2EE business. I am not in the patio installation business. I am not in the porn business. I am not in the banana peel recycling business. I operate a public-facing social networking service for charitable purposes, with various liabilities I have chosen to take on, and various regulatory requirements I have chosen to comply with. E2EE is not in my mission, nor in my wheelhouse, nor in my business plan.
