Through a press release, the Senate of the Philippines announced that Senate President Vicente Sotto III has filed an anti-fake news bill.
The anti-fake news bill, filed by Sotto as Senate Bill No. 9, seeks to eliminate fake news on online platforms by holding individuals who spread malicious information criminally liable. He stated that,
“Filipinos have fallen prey to believing most of the click-baits, made up quotes attributed to prominent figures and digitally altered photos. This bill seeks to protect the public from the adverse effects of false and deceiving content online. It also seeks to promote the responsible use of the internet.”
Under the proposed bill, the violations and their penalties are as follows:
Sotto added that once the bill passes into law, the Department of Justice (DOJ)’s Cybercrime Division will have the authority to issue the rectification order, takedown order or block access order. The Cybercrime Division of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) will be the ones to enforce the provisions of the Act.
