Cybercrime

I don't always pay attention to the news, but when I do, my freedom of speech is threatened.

When the cybercrime bill is made effective, bloggers, facebook users, tweeters and just plainly, everyone who uses social media will be forced into censorship. any post that might be considered libelous will be taken down. and the one who posted it will be arrested. the same fate awaits those who "like", "retweet", or "reblog" said post.

I read the description of the bill for our term paper regarding online libel. It basically takes away our freedom of speech, which is totally against Article 3 section 4 of the Philippine Constitution.

They say that the bill will be effective starting October 3, what will happen to the Philippines and its internet users when this is put into effect? I can only pray that everything will be okay.
