La Salle’s Institute of Governance’s “Patrolling the Internet: Mapping the Policy Terrain” research project also saw that (the next paragraphs are slightly edited paragraphs from the actual research study): There is an amalgam of proposals housed in the Philippine Congress that encourages the use of Internet monitoring and social control mechanisms in preventing crimes allegedly facilitated by information and communication technologies (ICTs).
Most notable is Senate Bill 3267, or the Anti Video Voyeurism bill, and its House of Representative counterpart House Bill 4315.
Hyped by the increased proliferation of so-called private video sex scandals of celebrities and the media attention it gathered, the policy proposal aims to penalize a person who takes or possesses an indecent “video tape, disc record,” or “replays” or “shares, relays or exhibits the contents thereof in any form—including the Internet.
The bill specifies that it will be unlawful for any person, without the consent of all the parties to any private act or acts to record the same in any form. Possession, ownership, and sharing (including online sharing) of prohibited recorded materials in any form will also be penalized.
Other proposed laws target the regulation of public access sites such as Internet Cafés. With the goal of protecting the minor especially students from “harmful” cyber content which include pornography, online gambling, and gaming, Senate Bill 2530 prohibits the operation of video and computer games within the radius of 500 meters from schools and churches.
Internet Café shops will be required to ask for student identification card and class schedule of minors as local governments are tasked to monitor the compliance of Internet shops to this provision. In a similar vein, S.B. 56 will require Internet cafes and educational institutions with Internet access to install software technology for blocking Internet sites displaying obscene and violent materials. minors and victims. –Manila Times
