Internet Law in Philippines Takes Effect, Raising Fears

By FLOYD WHALEY

Published: New York TimesOctober 3, 2012

MANILA — A new Internet law that took effect in the Philippines on Wednesday could lead to imprisonment for common activities like sharing Facebook and Twitter posts, critics say. The new law, the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which was signed by President Benigno S. Aquino III on Sept. 12, sets penalties for several computer-related crimes, including child pornography, identity theft, online fraud and illegally accessing computer networks.

But critics are concerned about the law’s provisions related to libel, which in the Philippines is a criminal offense that can result in imprisonment. Harry S. Roque, president of Media Defense South East Asia, an advocacy organization, said the law applied the existing legal definition of libel to the online activities of individuals, meaning that if a comment on Facebook or Twitter were deemed libelous, the writer of the item and those who shared it could be prosecuted.

Conference on Mobile and Social, Wed 10/10 6pm

How Mobile Disrupts and Opens Up Social as We Know It

Every computer revolution changes our lives dramatically; so will mobile devices.  Mobile devices enable billions of people to capture, share, interact, and consume real-time personal media in new and creative ways. In addition, being devices owned by individuals, they can form an autonomous computing fabric that frees us from the domination of existing centralized proprietary social networking services.

The MobiSocial Computing Laboratory at Stanford has created a system called Musubi to demonstrate such a possibility.  Musubi includes a group-chat capability that allows groups of friends to exchange media with each other in real time.  With the help of a secure real-time messaging service, shared data are sent and stored directly on individuals' phones. Users have full control of their data, as they can select their own backup service. More importantly, Musubi is also an attractive social app platform that helps apps spread through friends, without necessarily disclosing friends' identities to third-party apps. It enables a new class of viral and easy-to-create social apps that honors users’ privacy. Musubi is currently available, along with several representative apps for both Android and the iOS in their respective app stores.

Take part of a very interesting presentation and debate on how mobile will disrupt and open up social as we know it today.

This week's free Tech Briefing

Paul Saffo - Futurist
"Global Innovation and the coming Creator Economy"

Friday, October 5
2 - 3:30 p.m.

---

LOCATION: Turing Auditorium (Polya Hall, Room 111)

PRESENTER: Paul Saffo, Managing Director of Foresight, Discern Analytics

November 2008 was not merely the start of the current economic downturn; it was also the end of a 50 year long economic cycle and the transition to a long anticipated new economy.

Our current crisis is nothing less than a shift from a dying consumer economy built on consumption to a new "creator economy" built on mass interaction and innovation. Understanding this shift provides a context for making sense of emerging industries from robotics to 3-D printing and anticipating the impacts on incumbent industries from automobiles to media and consumer products. The result will be maddening uncertainty, but for innovators who keep their head — and keep their head up — it will also be a period of unprecedented opportunity.

Paul Saffo is a forecaster with over two decades experience helping corporate and governmental clients understand and respond to the dynamics of large-scale, long-term change. He is Managing Director of Foresight at Discern Analytics and teaches class on forecasting at Stanford in the Engineering School. Paul is also a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, and a Fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences His essays have appeared in a wide range of publications including The Harvard Business Review, Foreign Policy, Fortune, Wired, The Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, The New York Times and the Washington Post. Paul holds degrees from Harvard College, Cambridge University, and Stanford University.

Jorge Luis Borges

In class I mentioned the Argentinian (not Chilean) writer Jorge Luis Borges, in the discussion of how what you read must be understood in context. You can find him on Google, Wikipedia, etc.  I highly recommend reading his stories, which I find fascinating.

The story I mentioned was Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote

Do check into some of his books if you get a chance.
