That ship sailed about a week after the invention of the telegraph. When we lived in Florida my late father’s job at the telephone company was tapping phones during the entirety of his shift every day. He belonged to a large department that did nothing else 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. LBJ and Nixon were in the White House at the time.

Implying that this can never be fixed is like McCain stating that Manufacturing jobs are never coming back because of Globalism.
Our President just disproved that "truth" in less than a year.
Pretty sure the privacy of yours and my communication is also just a problem waiting to be resolved.

I recall somewhere around the late 80s, there was a federal department that claimed it could listen into one half of all phone calls in the US at a time.
And, iirc, from the ‘30s onward, the FBI kept agents or trained assets in all comms hubs that dealt with overseas communications originating from the US. Except privately owned shortwave. And even that was listened into by agents or assets using scanners.
