The "new law" is actually an update of an existing law and it would've forced "apps" (e.g. WhatsApp) to provide the same kind of text logs on request like the telcos have been doing for call log/SMS/location.
Governments have always had warrant requirements, until they decided they didn't need them. If you want my data, get a warrant.
The US had it's own top secret database breached.. because they used a discount contractor. I choose to keep my data in higher regard.
Bulk SMS/location is also a horrible failure of justice and it harms innocent people so that a few criminals may be caught. This is backwards.
It is better that a criminal go unpunished than for a single innocent person to be harmed wrongfully by the government.

We've been having "liberty versus security" debates for centuries and the balance is always changing.
Our very well trained seers (who are always right) tell us that this will reduce murder by 90%.. but 1/20 people we execute will be innocent of the crime.
Do we take the bargain?
Now the question is, what would make one decide to apply whatever answer they give here, but not there? Definitely food for thought!
Reducing 193 murder victims (Belgium 2017) to 19.3 victims. Assuming there's a 1:1 victim/killer ratio, that would mean ~20 executed killers of which 1 is innocent.
So, "accidentally" killing 1 person to save 173 lives.
Your "legal decryption framework" will be abused precisely the same way - it would be laughably naive to expect anything else.
