I wonder if they understand, it’ll be impossible to truly stop this.
Even if they get some of the low hanging fruit. People will just move to the more secure, distributed, and anonymous options.
Or are they actually ignorant enough to believe this is something they can solve.

They are not really after the encrypted messages themselves. They want to make any way of obscuring people’s activities illegal to have a universal right to arrest and investigate anyone they can’t reach remotely. If mainstream communication platforms all drop any sort of encryption, you will have a relatively small amount of holdouts to manually straighten up.

People with power believe everything happens because they allow it and if they don't like it then they can just make it stop.

Most people don't know anything about encryption or privacy. The few who do care will find other options.
