- Technical briefing by AIVD and MIVD on cyber operations law was followed by a roundtable discussion with experts.
- The speaker criticizes AIVD/MIVD for claiming that adding new servers to a hack requires three weeks, while the law allows administrative addition without new review.
- The 'photo' metaphor for exploration powers is misleading: it allows year-long monitoring and data retention, not a snapshot.
- Claims that 400 employees produce 20,000 pages of legal requests for TIB are questionable and not supported by recent experience.
- MIVD director Swillens brought classified documents to a public session, which the speaker considers a security breach.
- MIVD's complaint about having to destroy five bulk datasets lacked justification, as they failed to show necessity in a thorough complaint procedure.
- The argument that the law meets European human rights standards is a word game, as no case law on hacking exists yet.
- The speaker concludes the law is insincere and the public is being misled about its content.
