We believe the provisions within the resolution are too detailed for the application across all WA member states and restricts member nations from carrying out nationally lawful surveillance activities due to Article 2, subsection 3. The provision in this resolution which allows for governments to view the data of a user which a business holds is limited to "where information is needed for a criminal investigation or trial and a search warrant has been issued." It does not consider instances where, for instances dealing with terrorism and extremism, data may be needed in the prevention of crime where a criminal investigation or trial has not been opened, during heightened or national emergencies in which a search warrant may prevent law enforcement or government agencies from preventing crime in Goodspeed in which warrants may not be able to be issued quickly - as it does not consider varying legal systems across nation states.

"Why should any government spy on it's citizens without their consent or a search warrant?"
And this is exactly why I am voting in support of this.
Governments shouldn’t be spying on citizens unless they have probable cause that they are committing a crime or will commit one and have secured a warrant for surveillance from a federal court.
Businesses shouldn’t be collecting data from minors without parental consent, it’s plain business ethics.
