On the Philippine Cyber Crime Law
I believe that I will have a lot of haters and maybe unfollows after this but I am willing to take that just to get my point across the Philippines.

I am no one important in the Philippine Society, I am just a speck of dust in the windshield of life, I am no one to speak of these things that one would actually hear me out. But what better way to speak if not in volumes?

I might sound like a total pro-government drone but now that I have been enlightened by the actuality that is the RA # 10175, I’ll stick to my dp(everyone is doing the black profile picture as a sort of rebellion) because in all honesty, the cyber law is actually protection.

I’m not trying to be a badass anymore or even trying to be anti-mainstream, but if you actually read what this Republic Act has to say, you might actually approve of it.

I honestly believe that it’s for the betterment of society. It’s not as if naman everyone would just suddenly say: “I hate the government” diba? People are just too afraid without even knowing what they fear.

What the cyber law in the Philippines is trying to do is to put a restriction in what people do in the internet.

1. When a person gets bullied in the internet, here in the Philippines, there is no written law that would protect this individual. There is no written law to stop that cyber bully. Under the Cyber Crime Law, these individuals would, hypothetically, be protected.

2. Hacking. That is definitely a crime with or with out the R.A. for one, that is not your site and you don’t have the right to hack into anything. It’s like theft only you are not going in a house in the middle of the night trying your hardest not to wake dogs up.

3. Cyber Sex. How do we stop this if there is no law to prevent it? Cyber sex is starting to get, no cross that, has always been rampant ever since the internet can be accessed everywhere, cyber sex is propagating like a plague and with this it may possibly help lessen cyber sex victims or even non

    Today the internet has completely changed the way people communicate with each other. It has changed the people conduct commerce, changed the way people research topics, the way people entertain and the way people break the law (Schmalleger, 2011, p. 70). Many of the crimes that are committed on the internet include: prostitution, drug sales, theft, fraud, conspiracy, bullying, and harassment. As the internet becoming more and more of a dominator factor in how society is driven so has these crimes. Kids are being bullied and harassed by their peers to the point that they are committing suicide. Stopping these acts are hard because it’s very difficult tracking everyone in America’s computer and it’s illegal without the correct warrant and process to monitor someone’s actions. The more that the internet becomes an everyday use for everyday America the more is going to be taken advantage of and break the law. I can see this being beneficial or detrimental to society as a whole. It can be beneficial by connecting the world but also detrimental by someone corrupting and hacking into the world. It’s going to be on the government and us to see how this outcome turns…

    Controversy over Internet Police has raged on since the creation of the internet. Several have thought that not policing the internet has led to numerous crimes such as theft, illegal transactions, and cyber bullying.

We believe that as well.…

    If the government is so perfect, then why would people go against it? The answer is simple. The government is not perfect. Everything improves with time. The government today is not the same as the government yesterday. Since the beginning of time, people strove to make the world a better place. There will be times when the government is not always right. We then have to depend on people to go against the government and fight to better our world. It is appropriate to go against the government.…

    Did you know the internet holds all types of danger? Viruses, predators and illegal activities. Viruses can from apps, websites, and pictures, boot sector, in an executable program and in a macro. Place you didn’t even know about.

    The simple yet notably patriotic statement of the president earned the applause of the participants at the conference, in which hopefully the Filipinos appreciated it - regardless of their political stand about his administration. Come to think of it, it would be wonderful if the statement “I love the Philippines more” is likewise uttered – loud and proud – by every Filipino; with the ‘loving part’ put into action in perpetuum.…

    This is an issue that requires your continued participation. I am aware that this is an issue that you have become directly involved with and have worked to support the enactment of the USA Freedom Act. As a senator currently working with and recently “opposite” to Rand Paul, who has garnered much support by big tech companies in silicon valley, I believe that with the same stance, the both of you can work with the support of big tech companies to work to pass the enactment of the USA Freedom Act (Savage). While the act still currently includes controversial aspects left over from the original Patriot Act that allows for bulk surveillance practices, it is important that either the bill is passed and addressed from the inside as you have suggested along with Senator Sensenbrenner, or that new provisions are made under a new act that addresses this issue.…

    The state government has the obligation to protect people from certain internet content however, the Supreme Courts find the charges of internet crime unconstitutional. In addition, monitoring internet content violates Amendment IV and the right to privacy. Overall, the government attempts to regulate and monitor internet content to protect citizens from cyberbullying, pornography and other types of internet crime. Mainly, the government is attempting to diminish cyberbullying and various unmoral acts that are corrupting society. The government and society must find various solutions to this dilemma to boost the economy morally and physically. However, the courts rule the government’s attempts as violations of amendments and various precedents. Ultimately, the Bill of rights and precedents protect citizens’ privacy of internet…

    Despite the increase in government compliance requirements and the proliferation of security tools, companies continue to underestimate the threat from phishing, data loss, and other cyber vulnerabilities, DeWalt said. 'Worldwide data losses now represent US$40 billion in losses to affected companies and individuals each year, DeWalt says. But law enforcement's ability to find, prosecute, and punish criminals in cyberspace has not kept up: "If you rob a 7-11 you'll get a much harsher punishment than if you stole millions online," DeWalt remarked. "The cross-border sophistication in tracking and arresting cyber-criminals is just not there."''…
