With the advancement of technology, particularly the internet, society gained access to innovations that facilitated communication, commerce, and electronic legal procedures. However, these advances also led to the emergence of new crimes, known as electronic, digital, or cybercrimes. This study examines how criminal law responds to these crimes theoretically and procedurally, and the resulting conflicts with fundamental rights, resembling the surveillance society described by George Orwell in 1984. The work highlights the legal system's slow adaptation to rapidly evolving technology and discusses how crime-solving techniques may infringe on individual rights. The research was conducted using a bibliographical and documentary methodology, analyzing books, articles, and related materials.
