The answer would be for other houses to install a burglar alarm too, which is an analogy for the government to change the law to allow itself access to all messaging services.
However, this means we are then back to the situation where the electorate must decide whether it favours personal privacy or easier detection of crimes like terrorism, paedophilic activity etc.

As you particularly know only too well, I'm part of a paedophile hunter group. my team nor I claim to know it all (it's a case of "you build a bigger mouse trap, we'll build a bigger mouse") but I can assure you this will do little if anything to deter the preds. I suspect you know they rarely work alone and will simply collaborate to find newer ways to exchange /access material without getting caught.
You may slow them down temporarily, but you won't stop them.
