This is why I have claimed that social media companies have
an INCENTIVE to end-to-end encrypt everything. If you don't
you can be made liable for criminal behavior that occurs on
your site.
Also you're constantly being harassed by pressure
groups like Save The Children and such who claim you need
to do more about grooming, sexting, child porn etc. etc.

Sadly no, because social media corporation thrive on the protection of the government, being corporations. That means they have to kneel down before them, or lose their status and risk law suits from the government.
However...
I'd say that this is a great opportunity to look through your social media and shift to self-hosting, or decentralized, open source solutions. By
their very nature, not being corporations, and by being much, much smaller and insignificant, they, for the moment, slip through the cracks and they also usually support much stronger anonymity than the corporations.

You're demonstrably wrong. Exhibit numer one: MegaUpload. It was a harbor
for illegal downloaded content and its creator is still in hot water over this. About
a decade ago he came up with an E2EE version called Mega. Since then there haven't been ANY allegations that the site harbors illegal content. And I'm sure there's
plenty of it, but no one knows. LEA can't do anything about it.
Exhibit number two: Facebook Messenger. Facebook was continually criticized and accused
of not doing enough on grooming and sexual explicit content being exchanged via Messenger.
Despite massive protests by LEA to not introduce E2EE on Messenger Facebook remained steadfast
and introduced E2EE in Messenger last year. Result: no more noises by pressure groups and government
agencies.
I rest my case.
