“Protect our Right to Freedom of Expression!”
A group of hackers took over the BSP site to protest the Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act, which was signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on Sept.12 and according to them:
"The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 is the most notorious act ever witnessed in the cyber-history of the Philippines, and the language of the bill is cunningly designed to make you think it only applies to individuals who are deep in cyber-technology and doesn’t apply to everyone, but some part of the bill basically says it can imprison anyone who commits libel either by written messages, comments, blogs, or posts in sites such as Facebook, Twitter, or any other comment-spaces of other social media in the Internet."
Our take on Cybercrime Protection Act in a little bit, meanwhile, we’d like to hear your side. How do you think this law will affect you?
