Rappler was barely four years old when President Duterte was elected. There were very few of us, but we did what we could to report on corruption and abuses of power, along with the war on drugs. President Duterte gave Rappler another name. He called us fake news. He said we were paid hacks. We were charged with tax evasion and cyberlibel and ownership violations. Rappler’s license to operate was revoked. It remains under appeal. Our reporters were banned from covering the president. We were threatened daily on social media. Because we were women, the threats included rape.

im genuinely curious if cyberlibel is a thing in the uk? im not in the legal profession so i wouldnt really know but it seems like a situation that calls for it imo, what they are doing to mason is too much (as well as other footballers). in my country, cyberliber is a thing and most peoples been free scoring on it because the law is kind of vague its practically like if anyone says the wrong word u get a case everyone gets a case scenario its almost hilarious 😭😭 look up maria ressa's case they got sued for fixing up a typo error some time later on an article that was published before the law was even in place like its a different scenario and this case is more of a state attack on journalism but like if i was a famous person id probably suing people who talk shit too much yk??

Ooo I’ve never heard of this I’ll have a look into it

I feel like I’m the uk thought they just say what they like

Blog about Ethical Principles of New Media

As a student of Writing for New Media, I learned a lot of things in terms of creating essays about the relevant issue nowadays. We created a podcast to train our skills for vocal voice and to tackle the topic we chose, but the topic I most interested is in Final Topic which is talks about the Ethical Principles of New Media Writing including the topics of Libel, Slander, Copyright, Plagiarism, Cybercrime Law and the Data Privacy Act of 2012. It gives me more ideas to have knowledge and to know the differences and what we should and shouldn’t do because for me this is one of taking advantage if we knew it, Why? Because nowadays many people and youth they’re active on social media, they post everything and it also causes war or fights between two people, besides there are a lot of students or individuals does copyright not only music or what so ever but also copy statements, content, and some logo’s without giving a credit to the owner. Libel or Cyberlibel is still happening now personally or even through social media, so we should be wise about what we say personally or what we posted online without proof of accusing someone or even spreading a piece of fake news that can cause their mental health or to put them into ashamed. We should be aware of what were doing.           So, why did I choose a topic for my blog? Because I want to spread the thoughts of many people and for their awareness of what they should and shouldn’t do and for the sake of themselves. In my own perspective for this blog, I know the many readers relating to this topic because of the social media that we should be aware of in our every or daily post, and it can help the many readers and they will benefit because of this blog just to be wise that not at all times we will put our thoughts, were going to fight through social media without any consent of someone and I know if we read this blog their mind will open and they will be an incentive and conservative person to make them self better and to be a professional because you should think before you click.

“A Thousand Cuts”, a documentary by Filipina-American director Ramona S. Diaz , begins with Rodrigo Duterte’s ascent to power in 2015 and concludes with a June 2020 coda. Under his policy of extra-judicial killing of addicts and low-level dealers, an estimated 20,000 Filipinos have been murdered, with an average of 8 new corpses turning up nightly on the streets of Manila alone.  Maria Ressa states, and Diaz depicts, that this has panned out as a war on the poor, as drug lords skate through unpunished. 

Most of “A Thousand Cuts” focuses on the erosion of the free press and the concurrent run-up to the 2019 elections. 

The moves against Rappler have drawn international concern and made Ressa globally renowned as one of the people standing up against authoritarian governments. Time magazine named Ressa a Person of the Year in 2018, and she was named a laureate in the 2020 Four Freedoms Awards. (READ: Maria Ressa among TIME’s most influential women of the century)

For using fictitious identities to register SIM cards or social media accounts. - The penalty of imprisonment of no less than six (6) years or a fine of up to Two hundred thousand pesos (P200,000.00) [note: this is about $3888.] or both, shall be imposed upon anyone who uses a fictitious identity to purchase and register a SIM cards or social media account.

saw this on twitter, not sure if anyone has here yet.

https://t.co/eVe3puxdHq <- LINK TO AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE "ANTITROLL" BILL

It is described as an “antitroll” bill as it will require all social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter to get the real name and phone number of users during the creation of an account.

According to Drilon, the requirement to use real names was aimed at “fight(ing) the anonymity that provides the environment for trolls and other malicious attacks to thrive in the age of social media."

The Philippine government, specifically Senate Minority Franklin Drilon specifically sought the insertion of the part that REQUIRES USERS TO USE THEIR REAL NAMES online to "fight against online trolls and cyberlibel."

The Philippine government also has a history of red-tagging anybody who says anything in opposition to them.

If you don't know what red-tagging is, it's basically "labeling people as terrorists, communists, etc." by the government, should you be percieved as a threat.

Victims of red-tagging may be subject to

having their communication, spoken, written, online, whatever, being monitored

arrested for simply being suspected of terrorism (which in the documents, the description of what a terrorist is is written very vaguely)

restricted travel, house arrest, prohibited from using any means of communication with those outside the victim's home, such as cell phones, computers, etc.

With this information, this law puts the Philippine citizens with barely any defense against red-tagging, much less doxxing from other users.

If the president decides to sign this, all Filipino citizens will be forced to use our real identities online.

As of now, I do not know any way to stop this, but it would help greatly if you shared this to spread the information.

If you find any way to oppose it, please share it to the best of your ability. Thank you.

Edit: this post has a pretty good explanation! there are links to petitions on there too

Our President And The Issue Of EJKs In The Philippines by Santino Fernandez

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely-Lord Acton”  

These words to me are important as they reflect a huge societal issue happening right now in The Philippines. This issue has to deal with the police and how they abuse their power towards the people of my country.  It is no secret that Police Brutality is running rampant in some countries right now. Just last May, America experienced a great tragedy with the murder of George Floyd.  The cop killings in the US are rampant but in the Philippines they are as bad if not worse.

Ever since 2016 our president Rodrigo Duterte has been on the so called “War on Drugs.”    In this campaign he promised to rid the country of dangerous substances by the end of his  six year term. However all it has done is create more damage  as this so called “Drug War” targets the poor and less fortunate.  In the years since Duterte has taken office he has implemented Extra Judicial Killings also known as EJKs in the country.   An EJK is when the government sanctions the killing of people or drug addicts  in the country as long as there is evidence.  There is no due process any more and these addicts are not taken to a court of law. These addicts are shot in the streets in cold blood without any hesitation or remorse.

Since the implementation of EJK in our country there have been up to 5000 deaths caused by the EJKs. However human rights groups say it is way beyond 12,000 already.  Human rights groups have been siding with the people because it is a violation of democracy. According to our democratic law everyone deserves their day in court but Duterte prefers to not do that and instead kill the offenders.  In a direct quote from the man himself he says that he will protect the cops who commit the EJKs. Duterte says- “That’s our deal. When I said that you go and destroy the drug industry, destroying means destroying, including human life.” He said police officers who have faced difficulties in carrying out their duties should never stress over it as he says  "I'll take care of you.”  

This has caused many corrupt cops to abuse the power and protection given by the president. Because of this protection the deaths caused by the EJKs have risen rapidly claiming the lives of men, women, and children alike.  One of the many victims was Kian De Los Santos a 17 year old boy in high school who was gunned down by cops.   The official statement by the police was that allegedly Kian drew a firearm on the cops and it prompted them to fire back.  Witness reports and a closed-circuit TV, though, showed two men pulling Kian around a basketball court in civilian wear. At the site of the confrontation, two small sachets of alleged shabu, a .45 calibre firearm and four shot cartridge cases were found. Witnesses have reported that they ordered Kian to run and handed him a gun. The Caloocan policemen believed Kian was a drug runner, but the accusation was vehemently refuted by the teenager's parents.  

However it is not just physical damage and the loss of life that these EJKs cause but mental damage as well.  Human Rights watcher  Carlos H. Conde has investigated the trauma caused by the EJKs. One of Carlos’s subjects was a girl whose father was gunned down by the police which has created massive trauma.  In a direct quote from Carlos-“What struck me deeply was the level of trauma that these kids have, When I talked to her about that, she was very articulate and forthright, but you could sense the deep psychological trauma that she suffered in witnessing the violence and also being reminded every day of what happened to her father”

These children paint a harrowing picture of the long-lasting consequences of the murders. Another harrowing example of  how EJK effects children are three anonymous brothers. These three brothers, who were 15, 13 and 10 when their father was killed over two years ago, now live on the streets, after being essentially deserted by their mother, do not attend school and work menial jobs for rent. A 5-year-old boy's mother said he threatened to kill one of his friends and cover him in packing tape. "It's the same way the boy's father was discovered 19 times after being stabbed, his head wrapped in tape and a sign placed near him reading, "I'm a drug pusher. Don’t emulate me.”

From July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2019, the Philippine National Police announced that 5,526 criminals were killed during police operations. However, according to reports by domestic human rights organizations, this figure does not include the thousands of suspected gunmen killed in incidents that are not seriously investigated by the authorities, raising the death toll to as high as 27,000. Human Rights Watch reports and reputable media sources such as Rappler and Reuters say that these vigilante-style shootings were committed either by police officers themselves or by police-related killers.  This has resulted in many cases with regards to the violation of human rights but only one case was brought to justice and it was the case of Kian.

Even today there are victims of this abuse in power. On Dec 20 2020 a mother and her son were killed by a policeman in Pampanga.  This policeman by the name of Jonel Nuezca shot a middle aged woman by the name of Sonya Gregorio and her son by the name of Frank Gregorio.  This whole incident was recorded on video and shows Nuezca take out a gun and shoot Sonya in the head, then shoots her son while they clutch each other, then shoots each of them a second time. The video soon went viral, prompting an internal investigation of the police officer and murder charges. He has handed himself in to the police but this is again a harsh reminder of how rampant this abuse of power is.

The presidents reach of power also extends over to the media and government. The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution in July 2019 urging the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to send a briefing on the human rights situation in the Philippines in June 2020, putting international pressure for transparency to bear. The Duterte administration reacted by demanding the termination of all financial aid talks from the 18 countries adopting the resolution.

Journalists are also being silenced as well.  This is the case with the company of ABS-CBN  news network and the famous journalist Maria Ressa.  In the case of ABS-CBN the company was accused of political bias.  Duterte accused ABS-CBN of not being impartial or fair during the 2016 elections. These accusations go even further when the President accused ABS-CBN of aiding Duterte’s political competition.  During the hearing for the franchise’s renewal the house of representatives voted on closing ABS-CBN after 25 years of news. Critics of the president say he's gone after media outlets who have closely reported his drug war, which since he took office in 2016 has left thousands of people dead. By government order, ABS-CBN ceased operations of its free TV and radio channels after its 25-year franchise expired in May.

This has caused massive repercussions amongst the Philippine society as 11,000 workers were left without a job and let go.

However there are massive long term effects as well.  ABS-CBN was the number one news network in the country and their network reached across the various provinces. With no news network most of the country is not informed on the various events in the country.  This was the case in November 2020 when Typhoon Ulysses hit the Cagayan Valley. Since there was no news of the upcoming Typhoon the residents of that province were unprepared and not ready. The result was a staggering amount of deaths in the Cagayan valley as well as a massive amount of damage.  All this is the result of Duterte wanting to silence his critics because of his actions in the drug war.

Another example of Journalism being silenced is the case of Maria Ressa. Maria Ressa was the CEO of the news website Rappler.  This news website vehemently criticized and watched  Duterte’s movements and approached towards the drug war.  Ever since the 2016 election  Rappler has been a harsh critic for Duterte but in 2020 Maria Ressa was jailed. The allegations according to the court were “cyberlibel” which is equivalent to 200,000 pesos in damages plus a few years in jail. Ressa’s arrest sparked anger in millions including famous journalist Amal Clooney.  Many have stated that this is an act that takes away the freedom of speech. A right that we Filipinos have because of our democratic government.  Amal has said her self that “the court had become complicit in a sinister action to silence a journalist for exposing corruption and abuse”.  

Rappler scrutinized Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's government, revealed bot armies and corruption, and reported his ruthless anti-drug campaign, which, by some reports, has resulted in tens of thousands of extrajudicial killings. In exchange, Rappler was criticized as trading "fake news" by the president, and his administration launched multiple lawsuits against him. In addition to the cyber-libel allegations, Ressa is also facing further prosecution for libel, two court proceedings alleging unlawful foreign ownership of her enterprises, and inquiries into her old tax returns. The numerous allegations made against Ressa could lead to prison sentences of about 100 years.

Various journalists have also been  victims to Duterte’s silencing.  In November, one journalist had been killed: news anchor Eduardo Dizon of Mindanao's Kidapawan City, who was shot dead on July 10. At least one of them, Brandon Lee, was seriously wounded in an assault by a gunman in the northern Philippines in August.   But it doesn't stop there as Duterte has passed an Anti Terror Bill which at close examination controls our freedom of speech.  Under the statute, a criminal suspect can be arrested without trial for 14 days, a duration which may be extended to 24 days. Human rights lawyers argue that it breaks a constitutional requirement that after three days of arrest, an individual must be convicted. The anti terror law also will  monitor any social media discourse related to offending the president or his administration.

Even today the ruthless reign of Duterte continues as the police are given more power while the masses suffer. During the lockdown the president has stated that he will kill anyone who violates it. “My orders to the police and the military, if anyone creates trouble, and their lives are in danger: shoot them dead.”   This has created  fear amongst the masses as well as a new view on how the people see our government.

In my personal opinion this is not what a leader is supposed to be. Before I started on this essay I put a quote about power and I feel this is more relevant now than ever. Duterte’s absolute power has corrupted the government absolutely.  It has made the police think they are untouchable and has caused the poor people to suffer.  Our president is waging a war on drugs that is not effective at all and the Filipino people are paying the price.  A good leader in my opinion is one who puts the people first and not his agendas.  A good leader is someone who takes the Filipino people’s lives into consideration and does not murder them in cold blood. So with this current societal issue happening in our country I ask that you spread the awareness of how bad our president is.  Hopefully this country will change for the better and it will see a brighter tomorrow. In the end it is really up to the Filipino people and if they want their country to change.

“People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people.”

Yooooo, have you seen what's in Twitter? An account that translates questions made to isayama posted one about levihan, they asked him what levi thought about the "living together" of hanji and isayama said that he would want to draw it!!!! OMG if this is true... the implications!!!!! I screamed when I read it >w<

Hello Anon,

Thank you for your question! To answer your first one, yes I have a Twitter but I keep it private because our government sucks and can accuse us of cyberlibel and I'm incredibly vocal about the government so yeh.

I think I saw what you were talking about. (Apologies for the font.)

Rough translation of tweet below.

Question and Answer with Mr. Isayama in my head:

Q: What do you think about the scene when Hange suggested to Levi they live together in the forest?

Yams: I think I'd want to draw more about that Relationship.

Key word: 脳内 or the japanese equivalent of headcanon.

As painful as it is, this is probably just a Japanese version of "incorrect quotes."

Either way, still gonna hold on to the beast titan theory and risk getting my heart shattered like the idiot I am.

[southeastasianists]

Maria Ressa, the founder of award-winning news site Rappler, was charged with her second cyber libel case at the Makati Regional Trial Court, several media reported today.

The case stems from a tweet that Ressa shared on Feb. 16, 2019, where she shared screenshots of a 2002 Philippine Star article that linked businessman Wilfredo Keng with the killing of Manila councilor Chika Go. The same report, which said that Keng was involved in several illegal activities, was taken down by Philippine Star from its website in 2019 after “the camp of Mr. Wilfredo Keng raised the possibility of legal action.”

Keng is the same complainant behind Ressa’s first cyberlibel case. Along with former Rappler reporter Reynaldo Santos, she was sentenced in June by a Manila court to at least six months in jail. This stemmed from a May 2012 Rappler article written by Santos, which said that Keng loaned vehicles to the late former Chief Justice Renato Corona.

Santos’ Rappler story used the now-deleted 2002 Philippine Star article as one of its sources.

Makati Senior Assistant City Prosecutor Mark Anthony Nuguit filed the second cyber libel case against Ressa on Nov. 23. He said that Ressa’s tweet that included screenshots of the Philippine Star article was done “willfully, unlawfully, feloniously, publicly and maliciously – with the intention of attacking the honesty, virtue, honor, integrity, character, and reputation” of Keng.

Ressa has filed a motion to quash the cyber libel case, saying that she is not the author of the Philippine Star article and should not be charged for tweeting screenshots of it.

“By any reasonable and unbiased reading, the sentence is not defamatory—read singly, none of the words are; read together, the sentence is not,” her petition read.

However, the prosecutor said that Ressa did not bother to get Keng’s side, and she “acted with reckless disregard whether the contents of the Twitter post was false or not.” He also recommended the journalist’s arrest and a bail of PHP48,000 (US$999).

Ressa is facing a string of other charges and has also been indicted for tax evasion and allegedly violating the anti-dummy law. She believes the charges are politically motivated because of Rappler’s critical coverage of President Rodrigo Duterte’s government.

Rappler was once called a “fake news” outlet by Duterte when it published a 2018 article that said his then-assistant and now Senator Christopher “Bong” Go intervened during the billion-peso procurement of Combat Management Systems for the Philippine Navy.

Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which the prosecution used as its basis for convicting Ressa and Santos for cyberlibel, was signed on Sept. 12, 2012 — four months after the Keng article was first published. The government said that Rappler could still be indicted because it was supposedly republished in February 2014 due to typographical errors.

COMMON ISSUES AND CRIMES IN THE INTERNET

Cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. Cyberbullying and cyberharassment are also known as online bullying

The Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 (RA 10627)

(Sec. 2, RA 10627) These acts are collectively called “cyber bullying” when committed online.

(Sec. 3, B-1, RA 10627, Implementing Rules).

The Revised Penal Code and the Cybercrime Prevention Act

One who publicly or maliciously imputes to another a crime, vice, defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status or circumstance tending to cause the dishonor, discredit or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or blacken the memory of one who is dead may be liable for libel under this Code. (Art. 353, RPC) These acts are more severely punished when done online in addition to the civil action for damages which may be brought by the offended party. (Sec. 4(c-4), RA 10175) Cyberlibel holds liable only the original author of the post (Sec. 5(3), Implementing Rules of RA 10175). Likers or sharers of a post cannot be held liable under this law.

I learned about this lesson that we shoul be careful when we are surfing the net, because we might put ourselves in trouble if we just keep on clicking sites to sites without thinking about the consequences. We should learn to control ourselves when it comes to the internet. Just like they say "Think before you Click.".

Thank you!
