I am not very technical as members of the committee will have learned by now. Does it apply to the cloud or digital communications? It refers specifically to surveillance and audio surveillance, which to my mind is the traditional thing of people sitting in a car taking pictures or whatever. Communication is much more sophisticated. They are less likely to be meeting in a hotel room and more likely to be meeting across Zoom. Is it anticipated that those powers will cover that online area too?
