Why would they? People in power and judges are always exempt from warrantless mass surveillance. They get actual privacy.

France managed to get in an exemption in the proposal for their police and security workers, who can keep their privacy. I think the wording is that this would only apply to apps available to "the public". So if "the public" can't download your app, you're safe...

I think it just shows it won't be possible to implement this in a useful way. Let's hope...
