There are two people involved. To quote myself:
> The server you'd be talking to in my case is physically mine, in my home, so if I'm an endpoint and someone else is an endpoint, and they have an encrypted connection to the server, for all intents and purposes, it's end to end encrypted.
There are two people who can read the communications: me and whoever I'm talking to.
But rather, my point was this:
> Terrorists and other criminals have an interest in arranging this, and it's quite easy
Setting up https is easy, and steganography is easy to do. Thus, a ban would be pointless because everyone who needs it for criminal activities, still can do it. It's everyone else that's put at a disadvantage.
