I have some knowledge of the LI (lawful intercept) space. Some USA/Canada agencies/companies uses tools by JSI Telecom to do this. They do deep packet inspection and phone call recording with retention policies set by whatever law the host country has. For calls that are recorded, you cant record chats to lawyers, so a human has to listen to the call and mute it. Some countries don't allow recording, so a human has to listen in on the call live. Blah blah blah. My opinion is that democracy will die in favor of republics where govts do whatever. Seems to me were heading that way anyway. I find the theater of it tiring.
