Hi SM,

What is your opinion on the following "amendment" proposed[1] to the
Attorney General's Office by the Ministry of Technology, Communication &
Innovation:

    The CERT-MU shall have such functions as may be necessary to enhance
    cybersecurity and shall, in particular –
      [..]
      d) Authorize to monitor and collect traffic data or information
         for cybersecurity;
         i) The Government shall, to enhance cybersecurity and for
             identification, analysis and prevention of any cyber
             intrusion or spread of computer infections in the country,
             authorize CERT-MU to monitor and collect traffic data or
             information generated, transmitted, received or stored at
             the level of Internet Service Providers.
         ii) The Government shall also authorize CERT-MU to *monitor and
             collect traffic data* or information generated,
