Internet and sexual abuse of minors. Towards a new proposal for regulation and protection of vulnerable people

Abstract: The present paper aims to investigate the protection of online child abuse. The story so far is small from a regulatory and jurisprudential point of view within the European Union. The new proposed regulation will try to close the gaps of the past and pave the way for greater protection of the fundamental rights and above all of crimes having to do with the internet. New proposals, new problems, non-feasible solutions and/or even innovations in the sector are topics that will be addressed and based not so much on the doctrine and legislation under examination but more on the relevant jurisprudence which allows us to arrive at new analytical conclusions.
