MANILA - Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan has urged social media giant Facebook to look into the rise of online threats and the creation of fake accounts targeting critics of the Anti-Terror bill.
"The students are worried that these accounts may be used to plant bogus evidence that would implicate them in crimes outlined in the anti-terror bill," Pangilinan said in a statement."We must not allow social media to be used as a platform for identity theft, intimidation, or worse a tool to plant bogus evidence," he said.
The Department of Justice already ordered an investigation into the surge of fake social media accounts after Anti-Terror bill protests.
