Filipino Netizens protest online against Cybercrime Law or the Republic Act 10175. Many believed that, Cybercrime Law may put Philippines in more trouble with UN for curtailing press freedom’as it raises the risk of rights violations and curtailment of freedom of expression and of the press by expanding the concept of the criminalized act of libel. The law also raises the penal sentence for libel committed in cyberspace one year longer than that imposed in the Revise Penal Code for libel in general.
A day before the Cybercrime Prevention Act is scheduled to take effect, Filipino social media users gave the online world a peek into what the controversial law, seen as an assault to freedom of expression, would do to the vibrant Pinoy community online.
