New LAW is not E-Martial Law but an Anti-E-Nakaw
New LAW is not E-Martial Law but an Anti-E-Nakaw
By: Rev. Jesse Amiel A. Ramoso
What does this two opposing powerful violation of human right, for E-Martial Law it is a violation of freedom of expression, while E-Chismis is also violation of human rights if the irresponsible media person broadcast and publish malicious issue. Is the new approved law a Martial Law or or an anti-Chismis and anti-E-Nakaw?
For me if the E-Martial law prevent on broadcasting news (News Blackout) then this is indeed violation of human rights and unconstitutional, But if this is just to make those publisher/s responsible for what they published then this will balance our human rights (freedom of expression and human rights). They can still publish what they want, they can say what they want as long as this will not violate against individual rights. Therefore, before they publish issue, they should first search if the issue can stand on the fire of “libel case” to avoid media abuse. Bill of rights provides every one of us freedom not just (FREEDOM of EXPRESSION) for the media people but also our freedom as a citizen and as a human. The problem with social media today, individuals and to those who want to publish in internet are not that educated and constitutionally know the boundaries of being a responsible media men; the result is internet becomes a tool to destroy or build information and reputations. For me if this law is to address cyber crime and cyber bully then this is not against human rights, though most of the victims are politicians or celebrities but they are also human and a rightful to enjoy human rights. The danger of freedom of expression for the “chismosa in internet” and to those professional media is the abuse of this power to destroy and disunite us then this will destroy rights of individuals, this is also violation of human rights.
The power of freedom of expression over the “libel case” as criminal offense for me is a balance of two opposing power that we need to be watchful that it will not go to either one them to be in extreme sides; or else to those who has the excessive power tends to be abusive. If this law “libel case as a crime” prevent, screen and or block information that the Sovereign people should know then this is violation of human rights and this is abused and intimidation to our media men. I don’t see any problem as major in the law because most of the law are a provision and protection to an author, owner of program or information in internet. Media I guess don’t like this because they cannot get the information for free anymore here in the Philippines. Meaning, aside from paying the author, owner or publisher, they have also to secure permit or documented permission from the owner which it needed more time and processes. In this, the abuse here in internet in the Philippines that made attractions to foreign cyber crime businessmen is because we don’t have such a law to stop them, unfortunately now they can’t do this anymore. I’m saying this as computer engineering and worked in a computer company, most of the problem is the copyright infringement. This law will also strengthen the software program company and to our entertainment, because as I understand this will make illegal downloading and uploading a crime. Most people don’t like this because they’re used to pirate on programs, movie and articles in internet without proper attribution. If this law is for this aspects then this is not E-Martial law, this E-Protection to all of us against E-Nakaw.
