It will allow authorities to update their laws to “keep up” with new technologies, although it has been criticised as potentially allowing ‘an unlawful, mass programme of collecting data to continue unabated’.
But what if this happened in Ireland? Should gardaí be able to access your browsing history without a warrant?
