Is it still okay to stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my breeding territory.

huh huh... penalize...

No regulations on conspicuous wizard sleeves?

"c. Deleting and altering computer data;"

What, like deleting your internet history? Good lord, if there's no more specifics than this one sentence, everyone might as well turn in their computers and go back to pen and paper...

As a right leaning libertarian, the irony is not lost on me that some idiot Santorum in our own Senate is frothing at the mouth on how he can incorporate this here, because he somehow didn't pass 2nd grade without learning the First Amendment.

"Spamming, which the bill calls 'unsolicited commercial communications,' is punishable with imprisonment of 1 to 6 months or a fine of P50,000 to P250,000. It is defined as the "transmission of commercial electronic communication with the use of a computer system which seek to advertise, sell, or offer for sale products."

I wish the U.S. would adopt that.

It's kinda funny watching other countries put laws like this into effect though. Their legislatures are even more clueless than ours when it comes to this stuff.

HAARRRRRR!!!!!

Why would they want to hurt their economy like that?

Those "camgirl" sites employ huge numbers of Filipinos.

"the willful engagement, maintenance, control, or operation, directly or indirectly, of any lascivious exhibition of sexual organs or sexual activity, with the aid of a computer system"

Willful maintenance of exhibitino of sexual organs or activity - wouldn't that cover all porn? Good luck with outlawing the majority of the internet.

This. I thought that sex was their primary export.

Is there Christian Fundamentalism in the Phillipines?

/Just asking....

BigView: Is there Christian Fundamentalism in the Phillipines?

Roman Catholicism, to be precise.

/Which explains the rampant child prostitution.
//Low-hanging fruit are delicious.

Furthermore, the bill creates a National Cybersecurity Coordinating Council to formulate and implement the national cybersecurity plan, and monitor cybercrime cases.

I can spot three reasons this bill is a joke in this single sentence. Hell, Microsoft Word can spot them...

As long as BIE is still safe.

Those "camgirl" sites employ huge numbers of Filipinos.

Because it's abusive and exploitative and largely targets children?

That was the impression I got from the associated article (new window).

There's also probably a somewhat puritanical side to it, but I gather that viewpoint doesn't compel you, so I focus on those aspects even the most "sex-positive" person might be concerned with.

So web pages will not be able to sell any ads ?

When you visit a site you are soliciting what they put on the page. That's different than an email which they are sending to you without your consent.

Karac: "the willful engagement, maintenance, control, or operation, directly or indirectly, of any lascivious exhibition of sexual organs or sexual activity, with the aid of a computer system"

Willful maintenance of exhibitino of sexual organs or activity - wouldn't that cover all porn? Good luck with outlawing the majority of the internet.

The Phillippines are deeply Catholic and deeply repressed. Adultery and pre-marital sex is a crime. These are written into the Constitution, not just typical statutes. Possession of pornography is illegal, whether on paper or screen. Being gay or having gay sex is a crime in many areas, though it's no longer illegal everywhere. Even men and women living together as roommates outside of urban areas is often cause for a police raid, though it's not illegal unless they've ever fooled around or seen each other partially undressed. Herr Ratzinger is the leading authority on sexuality in the nation.

The one thing they have that we don't is that certain ethnic groups are allowed to practice polygamy, but in reality it's much closer to FLDS underaged abuse than consensual polyamory.
