Based on the analysis of similar case search, this paper distills the following rules and legislative proposals: whether electronic data collected by illegal methods should be excluded, the evidence can be differentiated into defective evidence and illegal evidence according to the severity of the illegal methods, and the decision of whether to exclude it can be made on a case-by-case basis.
