The wording of that message wiggles around a lot. When you read it again, you realize there can be:

almost every monitoring of online communications (just not 'general')
all chat scanning (just no chat 'control')
everything can be detected (just child abuse will be searched for AND detected)
sneak peaking at everybody's chats is ok. (But 'detection orders' need a thorough process)

This is the language of some one who knows is guilty
