to include social media use in the scope of the controversial anti-terrorism law, Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief-of-Staff Lt. Gen. Gilbert Gapay clarified that he wants to put an order on the contents allowed to be uploaded on different social media platforms and not the users.
“We are not here to curtail the freedom of expression of the users […] But what I’m saying is to regulate the platforms on the contents they allow to be uploaded,” he added. Gapay maintained that the premise of his statement was that social media is being used as a “vehicle” by terrorist groups to recruit or even plan attacks.
“Hindi na minsan nache-check [yung mga contents] , you will see violent, indecent materials uploaded.”He cited that some countries are coordinating with social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to take a look into the contents being uploaded on these platforms.“We are proposing the idea through DICT , if we could coordinate with these social media platforms to somehow regulate yung mga ina-upload nila sa kanilang platforms .
