"There needs to be accountability for ones actions...." quoted from H&K
Last week the EU announced the formation of a 'super' HQ to fight Internet criminal activities of all sorts be it personal or corporate and covering all EU government departments and the military. The idea seems to be modeled somewhat on what reminds me of Tom Clancy's Net Force. The HQ will be in Lithuania and will monitor all of the Internet comms in the EU. The reasons for the location is because of the massive damages done by the irate Russians when a Soviet Statue was removed .
However the targets will be both on local levels as well as intra European for all people. Safeguards already exist to a great degree in the various treaties that define the EU, so very few are objecting.
Many types of psychological abuses are already defined as criminal, consequently very few new laws will actually be needed, as the net is already monitored by several agencies as in the US. Some States have laws to hold psychological abusers accountable for any crime fitting in that category. Some prosecute, some don't, just like everything else...upholding and enforcing the laws are just not 'economically viable' and people are being left with a growing lack of law and order...
