i would read that as no one can do it, but "Public Authority" can in those set circumstances as its in the exception part 2 not in part 1

bit pointless having a law in place that lets eey one bar the goverment snoop on you

for wouldnt that mean i could tap all goverment data as i am not a public authority ( well not last time i checked anyhow ) cant see the goverment seeing it that way
