It makes certain users less safe in certain situations.
E2E makes political activists and anti-chinese dissidents safer, at the cost of making children less safe. Whether this is a worthwhile tradeoff is a political, not technical decision, but if we claim that there are any absolutes here, we just make sure that we'll never be taken seriously by anybody who matters.
Claiming e2e makes children less safe is flat out dishonest. And the irony of you criticising “absolutes” after trying to pass one is just delicious.

What are children at risk of, when E2EE is not used?
> What are children at risk of, when E2EE is used?

> What are children at risk of, when E2EE is not used?
State-sanctioned violence.
This is the argument they can’t have…
