Philippine Cybercrime law

No, they can't watch everyone at the same time. But there exist scanning algorithms that analyse internet traffic and posts for key words and link them to the source IP adress, monitoring its traffic and the connections it makes with other servers (thus websites) over the web. These IP adresses can be kept and then presented to human analysts, who will determine, though extensive research and proding at the IP's history, if yes or no that IP user at that certain time was doing something they don't want him too.

BUT.

That takes too long and is way too expensive. So they just cut everything at the source. Websites, download servers, torrents.

All I can say is, meh, been there, done that. The internet has become to much of a power for a single country to take it down. The Philipino users will eventually find a way to bypass the stop signs of the government.

The worrying thing is, if a great number of governments do the same, what then?

The Netizens of the world grab their freaking pitch forks and charge :D. And if the egotistic politicians think the people of the world wouldn't respond, think again. They'd like to pin such a possible revolution on one person, but nope, all revolutions came at the head of abusive governments.

man your freedom have been taken away man ...damn!!!

Miriam Santiago finally said her position regarding Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

She gets my vote if ever she runs for a different position

We're against it, but we don't want to get onvolve there too much.



if you don't mind, could you PM your family name?

Oh, so this has reached the forums already.

Anyways, I don't give much fuck.

Stopping the people from using the internet in their own ways is like stopping druglords from selling drugs


Necessity is the mother of all inventions. If there's a will, there's always a way.

Hmm I don't know if this is already known but this law here is actually already getting revised because if this is really implemented, Sen. Soto (creator) should've already went to prison because it stated somewhere in the law that "Copy paste/ Copying other's work is liable of imprisonment" and guess what... this whole "Law" thing was just copy pasted from a book and some college research group. This is strike two for soto (first was RH Bill).

So no need to fret actually about this, you think PH has the power to actually stop everyone from doing things All Over The World when they can't even implement a no littering rule...
