With the Philippine House of Representatives getting ready to deliberate on House Bill 6794 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of�2009, Filipino Netizens are being urged to read and critique the bill.
As I previously blogged, one of the worries of Filipino Internet users was that the controversy generated by online scandals in the Philippines, such as the Katrina Halili-Hayden Kho sex video, might be used to justify passing new cyberlaws or imposing Internet censorship in the Philippines.
HB 6794 seeks to define cybercrimes such as cybersex and child pornography, and propose measures for preventing and punishing such acts.
