Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder for Europol
PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering law enforcement's ability to intercept and monitor communications
Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue.

That's also true. Wiretapping internet communications was more valuable pre-2010s when things weren't encrypted. It is good that things are encrypted now. There's still some metadata that can be pulled now from ISPs, such as IP addresses, SNI, and unencrypted DNS, but cops are better off subpoenaing Facebook and Google than trying to wiretap.
