No, not really. They titled the law in a way to evoke the "with us or with the child pornographers" argument, but the law itself has always clearly been about online crime/monitoring as whole.
And given the "lawful access" aspects of the bill have been well known and discussed since the previous times they were introduced, it would be pretty silly to suggest that the government tried to "sneak" any aspect of this through. The government's crime here was stupidity, not subterfuge.
