The Supreme Court (SC) has ruled that psychological violence committed through Facebook may carry a penalty higher by one degree under the Cybercrime Prevention Act, provided the use of information and communications technology is alleged in the criminal charge and proven during trial.
A lawmaker said social media platforms and Internet service providers should also be able to preventively contain and shutdown electronic violence activity as soon as its red flags and markers are detected.
Lawmakers said countless women and children have become victims of perverse recording and photography, and the reproduction and distribution of such content are malicious or predatory.
