After what people react in the new law, they plan to revised the law. Libel in cyber crime law has longer term of imprisonment compare on the libel law. My question was what was cyber crime law was? why anonymous Philippines doesn't like it? What do Pinoy should do?

You know what? I am now afraid of speaking freely here in web now that there is that kind of law. It is scary and I keep on saying what happens to our freedom of speech? There are much into cybercrime law, I don't know really its whole content but the libel thing is my concern. I mean, facebook is where I say my thoughts without maligning other people. And what happens to it now? It is good to hear that they are revising the law.

I think it all started with the libel clause which they say was a bit harsh then the rashes of supporters created a complete mockery of the law itself. They are claiming that a simple like, share and post or tweet could sue you for the cybercrime law. But I think the real essence of this law is to catch cyber criminals which prowls over the net. I think those are the real targets of this law. Those scammers/hackers/online blackmailers/cyberbullies should be the one that should be pursued by this law. I personally think this law is not really bad as what is being presented in the media and is what is being done by hackers as a sign of protest. It may not be perfect but I think this law should be given the chance to ran after the real criminals in cyber world.

I agree with you. I think they just need to explain it further.

I'm not totally against the law. But maybe they just need to modify it. Medyo OA lang sa "pagkakakulong dahil lang sa pag-like" thing. I hope they would explain the law further for the enlightenment of everyone.

Actually, I think cybercrime law is good. Because other crimes over the net will be punished. But then people just over-reacted I think. Some people are commenting and posting of the thing that they don't really know. I didn't really feel that it was out of my freedom of speech anymore. As long as I know that what am I saying is right, I will express myself with or even without that law. Some Filipinos just have to act the way we should be treated well.
