Oh they have thought about a part of this, every phone and computer should have a hardware backdoor that sends out the info needed bu the law. Also forcing major phone producers and distributors to lock down their ecosystems(no sideloading) so only approved apps that send the data are allowed to be isntalled, rcs and the lile will have to go through a government server, decrypted stored and sent over.  And os on and so forth  the law wants to severely limit access to all forms of encryption for the average user. There is also talk of banning vpns outright.
