爱尔兰计划制定新的数字监视法,打击现代犯罪,引起对隐私的担忧。 Ireland plans new digital surveillance laws to combat modern crime, sparking privacy concerns.

爱尔兰司法部长吉姆·奥卡拉汉(Jim O'Callaghan)已经确保政府批准新的立法,将扩大游击队拦截数字通信的权力,旨在更新过时的1993年法律。 Ireland’s Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has secured government approval for new legislation that would expand garda powers to intercept digital communications, aiming to update outdated 1993 laws. 拟议的通信(监听和合法存取)法案将允许使用监视工具,如间谍软件、大规模移动跟踪、获取加密信息以及监测智能装置。 The proposed Communications (Interception and Lawful Access) Bill would allow surveillance tools like spyware, mass mobile tracking, access to encrypted messages, and monitoring of smart devices. 爱尔兰公民自由理事会警告说,这些措施可能具有深刻的侵扰性,并有可能损害隐私,特别是因为该法案的全文仍未公布,限制了监督。 The Irish Council of Civil Liberties warns the measures could be profoundly intrusive and risks eroding privacy, especially as the bill’s full text remains unpublished, limiting oversight. 政府表示,法律对于打击恐怖主义、网络犯罪和儿童性虐待等现代犯罪至关重要,政府援引广泛依赖数字证据为由,坚持司法授权将提供保障。 The government says the law is essential to fight modern crimes like terrorism, cybercrime, and child sexual abuse, citing widespread reliance on digital evidence, and insists judicial authorization will provide safeguards. 批评者警告说,尽管有人声称受到监督,但监视权力往往随着时间的推移而成为例行公事。 Critics caution that surveillance powers often become routine over time, despite claims of oversight.
