what's with cybercrime law? e-Libel version.

clamor! chaos! oh men. this is what we always see in the streets of metro manila. and now, its all about cybercrime law. what's with cybercrime law which a lot of people are talking about.

e-Libel. Section 4 of RA 10175 discusses about cybercrime offenses includes a clause which >>

(4) Libel. — The unlawful or prohibited acts of libel as defined in Article 355 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended, committed through a computer system or any other similar means which may be devised in the future.

honestly, i have no concerns with this. in fact, i am pro with e-Libel. my reason is that cyberspace are becoming a den of irresponsible people. we all have this freedom of speech, this is the reason why i have this blog for long. but i know my limitation. i know i should not say foul words and speak ill towards people. though sometimes, i maybe crossing the boundary. if there is something like responsible journalism, there should also be responsible netizens.

this is from here.

given this, you won't be affected by this law if you're responsible enough on what you say or post.  is it right to post the PI word to legislators? i don't know. speak your mind responsibly, come on! tell him Sotto what you don't like about Sotto and not just blow this below the belt words. in fact, if people are just responsible, we don't need this law. apparently, we are not RESPONSIBLE.

this is from a yahoo article.

so, calling all responsible netizens. this is for preserving the filipino culture.
