This isn't a new problem, there are complicated architectures to deal with process issues around lawful intercept: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12-2SX/lawful/intercept/book/65LIch1.html https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6... It says it's from 2015, but the Catalyst 6500 product line is much, much older. And quite a few companies sold both mediation devices and encryption software. All these problems exist with access to metadata, so police and service providers already need to address them today. I'm not saying that this isn't challenging (maybe it is, I don't work in this field), it's just that handling content (especially text message) within the existing framework wouldn't be such a massive change because of the existing infrastructure and procedures.

> All these problems exist with access to metadata, so police and service providers already need to address them today. In countries with higher corruption levels than the US data/metadata from “lawful” access is sold on a black market. I don’t think the problem of keeping data safe solved in a future proof way even in the first world countries and if encryption will be compromised sooner or later data or even keys will be sold/stolen/abused.
