One example is facial recognition. From what I gather, there is a growing consensus that unrestrained facial recognition might be either in conflict, or pose a potential threat to certain legal rights of European citizens. In Germany, for example, privacy-threatening issues are covered by a body of norms called "Persönlichkeitsrecht". Which are based constitutionally on Articles 1 and 2 of the German constitution (Grundgesetz) - the Right to Human Dignity and the Right to Personal Fulfillment/Development. Allowing anyone storing and sharing facial recognition data willy-nilly might endanger those rights and hence might be a need for regulation.
