Cybercrime prevention act is concern about
criminal behavior on the internet and effect of abusive behavior. Nowadays
there are so many crimes that occur on the internet, such as cybersex, child
pornography, the cyber squatting etc.
Cybersex is the willful
engagement, maintenance, control, or operation of any lascivious exhibition of
sexual organs or sexual activity, with the aid of computer system. Child
Pornography is the unlawful or prohibited acts defined and punishable by
republic act No.9775 or the anti child pornography act of 2009, committed
through a computer system. And the cyber squatting, acquisition of any domain
name over the internet in bad faith to profit, mislead, destroy reputation, and
deprive others from registering the same is similar, identical or confusingly
similar to an existing trademark registered with the appropriate government
agency at the time of domain name registration.
This three act enumerated in section 4, if person found guilty of this
act shall be punish with imprisonment of
prisons mayor or the penalty of reclusion temporal or a fine in maximum
commensurate to the damage incurred.
Let us bear in mind that there’s a law that
bind us all, the constitution. Our constitution is clear and uncompromising the
civil liberties it guarantees all people.
In today issue there so many hackers that destroy reputation of
government. We would therefore point out
that no government entity has moved on to deprive anyone of access to the internet.
In fact what was taken in place is that hackers who claim to be aligned with
critics at cybercrime act are the one who have engaged in online vandalism,
depriving the broader public of access to much
needed government information and services online.
