Political arguements is a fool's game as they are experienced manipulators after power. Sociopaths in other words. Not playing the expert's games is the only way to win against them.
Force them to insist upon what every expert says is impossible. The only "answer" they can have to that are more spin spun bullshit or making it their own. A "don't use me ever" form of encryption if they actually succeeded (any other option is better) or they create a tower of babel standing on a vertical gnat's hair - an inevitable collapse on any foolish enough to use it that only damages the arrogant fool who made it further.

What does "impossible" mean here?
It is certainly possible to build an encrypted messaging system that doesn't use end-to-end encryption and that allows someone within the company that runs that system to read the messages.
There are plenty of existing messaging systems that work this way, even today (eg, FB Messenger in non-private mode, Slack, plenty of video products).
Plenty of them have a long history of operating without having unauthorised information leaked.
So again - what is impossible?
I agree entirely that E2E encryption is much better, but we are fooling ourselves to say anything else is impossible.

I'm not entirely convinced by this argument. I think that banning E2E is primarily pushed by security agencies, and I think politicians don't particularly care about this topic at all.
