cyber crime law?

If we cannot express what we think is right...then obviously our freedom is demolished. But still there is always a set of rules already predefined and nobody can deny them .... and still there are some people who are disobedient and naughty and cruel, who harass other...such is not allowed.

This cybercrime law will pave the way for us to be more responsible in what we post online. I believe it's a good law for us to be protected against bad people on the net but here and there are some points that need to be revised yet. I believe it will not take away our freedom of speech if what we post online has no malicious intent. Let us all be responsible netizens. Have a nice day!

Some call it Cyber Martial Law. Let's wait for the decision of the Supreme Court to rule as to the Constitutionality of the new law. And, I guess we also have the option to reject or approve a law passed by the legislature. It should be 10 per centum of the total number of registered voters and 2% of the total per district should be obtained to quash the new law. This law however was created to address previous issues of cyber abuses. I submit that our lawmakers are not perfect and some of them may not have thoroughly considered every statement, phrase or sentence in the bill before they signed it into law. Since it's already perfected it's becoming a law, we can just wait for the SC's decision and if those contested provisions will not be declared unconstitutional, then a referendum would be a remedy. :)

Hello markzia, greetings. Welcome to the club. Cyber law, like any other laws are primarily enacted for the good of the country ( in the guise of national security) and its citizens. A law is a law, so they say. For sure, everything has its advantages as well as disadvantages. Anyone (except the rich and influential) who will violate it, will suffer the consequences (if caught). Bringing this subject into the spiritual level, allow me to quote one biblical verse, "But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; v-9, "knowing this, that the law is not made for righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane... (I Tim.1:8-10). Have a nice day markzia.

Well, I think people will think there is no freedom of speech anymore. The Internet is the only way the public can express their frustrations over the failures and abuses of governments. The Internet repressents the total freedom of expression. With that what will happen with our "freedom of speech" and to our "right of privacy" in that kind of law? These cyber laws are a slippery slope and clearly violate the freedom of speech, I guess.
