Unbounded Tech Mandate Power

The Commission can issue binding directions requiring technology changes, data sharing, or operational modifications based on undefined "national security" or "international relations" concerns, with no prior notice, technical feasibility review, or independent oversight. This creates severe regulatory uncertainty for digital investments: companies could spend millions implementing tracking systems, digital payment platforms, or automated infrastructure only to receive directions mandating different approaches. The mandatory compliance override means these directions supersede all other requirements, including the technology standards established in Section 20, creating conflicting obligations that undermine the bill's digital transformation goals.
