How does new EU privacy law protect paedophiles?

摘要

One of the trickiest legal dilemmas brought about by the internet is how to protect individuals' privacy without restricting the police's ability to investigate crime. With the introduction of the EU's ePrivacy Regulation (EPR), some say the balance has swung too far in favour of the individual, potentially allowing paedophiles to evade arrest. Central to their argument is how the EPR differs from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force in May.
