On July 5, Better Internet PH together with nine organizations representing the business sector, ICT industry, and civil society signed a Joint Statement of Support for the immediate passage of the proposed Open Access in Internet Services Act.

The proposed law also requires all social media account platforms to record the real names and phone numbers of their users upon account creation.

The Foundation for Media Alternatives (FMA) on Wednesday, July 28, launched an online privacy course on its official website and YouTube channel.

Non-profit group Foundation for Media Alternatives (FMA) has released a new report on the mobile lending issue, which has been lingering in the last couple of years due allegations of debt-shaming and other forms of harassment.

Saying it threatens the constitutional rights of Filipinos to free expression and access to information, a multi-sectoral group of digital rights advocates is demanding the repeal of Section 6 of RA 11469 or the “Bayanihan To Heal As One Act”.

The Foundation for Media Alternatives (FMA) has expressed its “grave concerns” over the alleged misuse of confidential funds by the DICT for the purpose of conducting surveillance activities.

The Foundation for Media Alternatives said it is not against the use of data-intensive systems (DIS) but it is calling for a comprehensive planning and analysis of such systems in order to minimize the risks that go along with their use.
