I feel like these amendments entirely miss the root of the problem.
For the government to have the ability to access the messages at all regardless of who signs off on them- that means there needs to be either client-side scanning before encryption or an encryption backdoor. Both of these could be leveraged by bad actors and allow scammers, foreign governments, and hostile entities access to your most personal lives which puts you and everyone you know at risk merely to make the lives of theoretical criminals that don’t actually exist harder.
