You mean like the mass surveillance already implemented by Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon?
That's already here. I think you should consider that this law might be aiming at some other goal.

No, GP is referring to mass collection and analysis of all of your communications. Google, Apple, et. all don’t have that capability today.
Hell, apple can’t even read my text messages, nor do they know I’m writing this - and I’m doing it on an iPhone.
You only believe that because you have chosen to believe it.
Take Facebook end-to-end encrypted messages for example. There are certain links it won't let you send, enough though it is supposedly E2EE. (I've seen it in situations like mentioning the piratebay domain name, which it tries to auto-preview and then fails. Hacking related websites as well I've seen the issue with.)
It likes to pretend it is a mysterious error, but if you immediately send a different link, it sends just fine. I don't use chat apps much these days, so I'm not sure if others see similar behavior, but I'd wager some do. Facebook is about the least trustworthy provider I'm likely to use, FWIW, so I expect a certain amount of smoke and mirrors from them.
Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and Amazon cannot send armed men to my front door.
Yes, they (well, google and amazon, I don't have accounts with other vendors) can terminate my accounts, but, to be honest, it is not big deal for me, especially comparing to be dragged out of my house by police, especially now, when I live in EU with residence permit and not full citizenship.
