is a little ironic, but you gotta push this winning tide and then work from that.

It is a connection between network Endpoints. The connection that is e2e Encrypted.
IP ranges show which IP belongs to a server in a data center and which is an endpoint.
Yes, but how do you distinguish between two identical TLS connections? You can’t and hence you can’t figure out if the content inside is additionally e2e encrypted. So what you are suggesting just doesn’t work technically.
The registry tells me if a connection is from an app that uses encryption that I can break. Everything else is suspect, needs investigation and after an introduction time, will be forbidden. Routers can easily discard everything that is not approved by the registry.
How? You have two arbitrary computers exchanging TCP packets. There is no way to tell any difference.
As I wrote before, trustworthy apps register their connection at the registry.
You are not making sense. You can register as many apps as you want, if there is no way to distinguish non-registered app traffic from regular internet traffic.
There is no need to distinguish the traffic. IP adresses and ports identify the streams.
The app creates a connection and registers both IPs and ports at the registry.
Then the app starts sending data.
The first router at an internet exchange point asks the registry if the IPs and ports are registered. If they are, the packets are delivered, if not they are dropped.
That way no unregistered app can exchange data.
So you are saying the entire internet needs to be shut down?
All websites keep working. All commercial apps will be adjusted and keep working. At first users just receive warnings and all apps keep working.
The internet won’t shut down when finally the packets are dropped. Only democracy will die, silently.
