The Senate finally approved their own version of the Anti-Cybercrime Bill (Senate Bill 2796) earlier today. The bill provides for penalties of Php200,000 to Php1.25 million and imprisonment of up to 12 years.
Here are the offenses covered in the Senate Bill 2796.
I. Offenses against the confidentiality, intergrity and availability of computer data and systems (illegal access, illegal interception, data interference, system interference, cyber-squatting, misuse of devices).
II. Computer-related offenses (computer-related forgery, computer-related fraud).
III. Content-related offenses (cybersex, child pornography, unsolicited commercial communications, libel).
This bill will certainly affect operations of a number of websites and online services in the Philippines.
