So, private companies can't track you, but the people with the state's monopoly on violence (which very much exists in the EU member nations) can?
Is there any sort of warrant needed for accessing this sort of information on devices?
It's not accessed on devices. This is about people using messaging applications, like Messenger. Then, as the message isn't encrypted, Meta can read the message on their servers. And with this law they are allowed to scan and sometimes report it to the government.
