In my stand it is good to have this law since in this cyber world rules and law doesn't exist. Anyone can do whatever they want even disparage fellowmen really occurs here. However on some point I think government must focus on important issues like Freedom of Information Bill which is not yet passed.

With the help of this law each of us can practice good and educated freedom of expression. Remember this, we all have the freedom to express ourselves but never forget that we are still humans that must limit or should I say think first before doing such things.


Article 2
Mary Rose Navarro

           

                                                 

               Anti-Cybercrime Law as I think, is not a good practice now that we were on a democratic country.

              It symbolizes dictatorship since it shows that we do not have the right to enjoy posting and expressing our thoughts and views especially on issues through online.

              Libelous message is hard and though to define. we have different interpretation on different matters. that is how you interpret it. This is how mine.what if you were thinking is not what I actually mean? You think its libelous but  it is not exactly what I mean. How about the users? especially those teens aging from 10-14 years old, I bet they do not know what is the real scope and concept of this cybercrime? how this be explain to them in order for them not to commit this crime? So, how will it be done? Still, there is a confusion.

           And with this law, I can assume that many of the politicians might just take that law as an advantage for their career. 

          Yes, the rights is designed for protection and for the common good and it is not absolute. For every rights comes an obligations and responsibilities need to be performed. but isn't it bad, we strive hard just to have that freedom for so how many years and here they are stealing that?

         Having that kind of Law is good. But I think, if it should just open for some amendment , everybody would appreciate it and will discover the real essence of this law.
