Warrantless Data Access Directives

The Commission can issue binding directions to licensees requiring disclosure, retention, or processing of customer data in the name of "national security" or "international relations" without prior judicial authorization, notice to affected individuals, or independent review. Combined with inspector access powers, this creates a framework for warrantless surveillance of postal and courier communications that overrides all privacy protections. Customers have no right to know when their data is accessed or to challenge such directions, and the vague justification standards enable arbitrary data collection without meaningful legal constraint.
