Signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on September 12, punishes offenses such as hacking, online fraud, identity theft, cybersex, child pornography, cybersquatting, libel, and other acts of Internet misconduct.
It is just so disappointing that the Philippine government, included libel laws to the Cybercrime Law. Why? Anyone who disagrees or finds offense with anything posted online - including for example - Facebook posts, comments or even private messages can sue invoking RA10175. No more opinions (that should neither be wrong or right) - no more freedom of expression.
We are not against the cybercrime law in general but it needs to be repealed or revised - it violates Filipinos' rights to free expression and it is wholly incompatible with the Philippine government’s obligations under international law.
In protest, starting October 3, 2012 when the law takes full effect, pinoywatching.blogspot.com will remove all of its posts until further notice.
