Social media apps should not be E2E encrypted, especially under the age of 18. Chat apps on the other hand should be completely E2E encrypted. We need to have a good balance between safety and privacy, and this is the only decent way.
Stupid people argue for backdoors and stupid people argue for full encryption. It's the correct balance that's far more important and will make everybody happy.
This may surprise you but not everything is better in moderation.
For example: cannabis.
