Perhaps it's a special environment (most of the inhabitants seem to
think so) but I remember being at some (in effect) Select Committee
meetings at Westminster which were webcast. Nothing was said to the
audience at the time, other than it being generally well known that the
hearings were covered on the web and live, and that the rooms in
question (in Portcullis House) are clearly wired for sound and TV. And
that transcripts of the proceedings were available (so absolutely no
privacy regarding what you said).
