> Any thoughts on the effects on society this now has?

I have observed two effects.

They are constantly trying to make it illegal for the common man to use cryptography. Constantly. Cryptography is subversive. It has the power to defeat judges, armies, nations. Authorities don't want normal people to have access to this. It will increasingly become a tool of corporations and governments.

Authorities are bypassing cryptography instead by attacking the end points. It's easier to crack other parts of the system and exfiltrate data after it's been decrypted than to break the cryptography. Easier to hack a phone and get the stored messages than to intercept end-to-end encrypted ciphertext and decrypt it.
