Are politicians really exempt? Must be some really high profile pedophiles, or pedophile supporters between them, like those in the Hungarian government - they support this by the way.
IIUC, no, they are not excempt. Certain professional contexts are excempt from surveillance, including political work, police work, military work and some corporate work. This is intended to prevent state or corporate secrets to be subject to surveillance.
I am not sure how it will be implemented that politicians are only excempt when texting about work. It seems like any implementation will allow politicians to avoid surveillance by using their work phone.
Just one example from the many:
