The law used to have a special rule for the Government Communications Security Bureau. This rule allowed them to do certain things with computers that other people were not allowed to do. However, this rule no longer exists. It was removed from the law on 13 July 2011. This means that now, the Government Communications Security Bureau has to follow the same rules as everyone else when it comes to using computers.
