URLs, IPs and interception

It says nothing of the sort.  It is plain on the face of the act that
only particular types of conducted relating to traffic data are excluded
from being interception - there is no suggestion anywhere in the act
that all conduct relating to traffic data is excluded from the
definition of interception.

I agree with you that until we get over this hurdle further debate is
futile.   So why don't you read S.2(5) again and see what it actually
says instead of what you want it to say?

It says that processing traffic data (in any way) can never be
interception.

If we can't get over this hurdle, then further debate is futile.
