Yes, it's a fake argument. They tried to ban end to end encryption many times, with many excuses, and the attempts have failed so far. If I recall right, last time, the alleged reason was "terrorism". The currently purported reason of fighting paedophilia was picked on purpose in order to discredit any criticism by making critics appear as disgusting and despicable as possible to the public.
