Why worry about E2E encryption, in theory just need a cert issued from a vast array of CAs or intermediates. Which I wouldn't be suprised they possess the ability through some type of secret warrant, heck even private keys.

Certificate Transparency thankfully means this is a tool a government could only use once if at all, and then they've burned an entire CA.
