Como otro paso para evitar actos maliciosos en el ciberespacio, el representante Arnolfo A. Teves Jr. ha presentado un proyecto de ley que impulsa un "proceso de autenticación obligatorio para todas las cuentas de redes sociales y otras cuentas en línea similares utilizadas por los usuarios en el país".

Al hacer que cada usuario sea responsable de sus interacciones en línea, la Cámara de Representantes del Proyecto de Ley No. 4093 tiene como objetivo abordar el ciberacoso, el acoso, las estafas en línea, la difamación e incluso el comercio de drogas y la prostitución.

"...las redes sociales se han utilizado como un medio para intimidar y acosar a individuos e instituciones", señaló el proyecto de ley.

El plan propuesto es que los usuarios estén obligados por los servicios de redes sociales a vincular sus cuentas con cualquier identificación emitida por el gobierno y/o certificado del barangay. Los usuarios en línea pueden registrar diferentes cuentas bajo el mismo número de tarjeta de identidad o certificado del barangay.

Adicionalmente, cuando hay litigios involucrados y el proveedor de redes sociales no logra identificar al propietario específico de una cuenta, el proveedor de redes sociales también será igualmente responsable por cualquier penalidad que deba imponerse.

Puede leer el proyecto de ley completo a través del enlace de origen que se muestra a continuación. Mientras tanto, ¿qué puede decir sobre esta ley propuesta? Esto es bastante similar al registro de tarjetas SIM que anteriormente informamos: requiere que cada usuario tenga una identificación válida detrás de los números móviles.

looks like the work of a certain political party who “wants to take back the internet”, then when they find out that nobody owns its, tries to pass a bill thay makes it legally theirs. good job.

ps to those who think this is a good idea, tell me how exactly do you regulate an account owned by a foreign company (fb accounts are owned by fb, not by the account creator, same with everything else) not under the philippines’ jurisdiction?

It will only work if you do the China way! Block FB Twitter Instagram Discuss and create a state owned/controlled sites like wiebo wechat of China. But This is a totalitarian policy and bullying is just a cover. The government always want’s to silence the people by threatening with lawsuits and jail so they continue with their corrupt ways. Libel is still a crime even made online libel worst but all this is to protect government officials from exposure.

“Social media provider’ as in what? Twitter or FB? Could the Philippine Government “penalize” either of them? Can it operate with iron hand like, say, that of the PRC or NoKor?

This government can start from basics (it’s like repeating primary school subjects every time), such as effectively enforcing simple traffic laws and regulations. For instance, preventing wayward drivers from plowing in counterflow direction into one-way streets. If it can’t accomplish even that, good luck with the bigger plans. Dream on.

This is a proposed law of someone who have no knowledge of what he was writing/talking. Most searched phrases such as “cyber bullying” are just trends. It is not a fact but a trend.

How will you force a company to comply when the government mocked the cybercrime law into an anti online libel law. By the same data used by Mr. Arnolfo Teves, at one time for 3 weeks, a top search in Asia appears as “Filipino are monkeys”, thus he should first make a law validating that Filipinos are not monkeys.
