Anti-Cybercrime Law of the Republic of
the Philippines
The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, officially recorded as Republic Act No. 10175
is a law in the Philippines that was approved on September 12, 2012. It aims to address legal issues concerning online
interactions and the Internet in the Philippines. Among the cybercrime offenses included in the bill are cybersquatting,
cybersex, child pornography, identity theft, illegal access to data and libel.[1]
While hailed for penalizing illegal acts done via the Internet that were not covered by old laws, the act has been
criticized for its provision on criminalizing libel, which is perceived to be a curtailment of the freedom of expression
—"cyber authoritarianism".[2] Its use against journalists like Maria Ressa, of Rappler, has drawn international
condemnation.[3][4]
