DICT plans mandatory verification for all social media users

Listen to article

信息与通信技术部(DICT)正在制定一项新政策,可能从根本上改变菲律宾人使用社交媒体的方式,计划要求在该国运营的所有主要平台进行用户验证。

DICT 秘书长 Henry Aguda 透露,该机构正接近发布一项部门命令,以正式确定该措施,此前已由其法律和政策团队进行内部审查。如果获批,该指令最早可能在下周发布。

该提案旨在通过更容易识别涉及网络犯罪、骚扰及其他数字违法行为的用户,来加强在线空间的问责制。根据 Aguda 的说法,匿名或不可追踪的账户常常使调查和执法工作变得复杂。

在最近对人工智能工具生成有害内容的担忧中,包括与埃隆·马斯克的 xAI 开发的 AI 聊天机器人 Grok 相关的性暗示和非自愿图像,推动验证的需求变得更加紧迫。此问题促使政府采取行动,并重新审视平台如何管理用户行为和新兴技术。

Aguda said the policy could also significantly reduce the presence of trolls and automated accounts, which have become increasingly common on social media platforms.

“验证解决了两个主要问题:协同的网络喷子和 AI 驱动的机器人,”他解释道,并指出这两者都依赖匿名性。

虽然许多平台已经具备技术能力来验证用户,但Aguda指出,自我监管一直受限,主要因为即使是可疑账户的高参与度也能为平台带来收入。

“社交媒体公司发现很难自我监管,因为流量驱动了它们的业务,”他说。“一旦有明确的政府框架,它们就会有行动的依据。”

如果实施,该政策将标志着菲律宾数字治理的重大转变,表明将对在线身份和行为进行更严格的监管——并可能重塑用户在该国数字空间中的互动方式。
