There is no consent in "you have to agree"

Nevermind that even if not consenting was an option, this law would still enforce the compromising of all secure communication.

Yeah, even if zero people ever consented the ability to defeat end to end exception would still be required in the software just in case someone ever did consent. That's all governments need to bring their other powers down on companies. They can spy on whoever they like with this.
