The Makati City Regional Trial Court Branch 132 rules said that Nieto 'maliciously and with ill intent' collected and published Laurio's personal information, turning her into a target of threats and harassment.
MANILA, Philippines – Jover Laurio, the author behind Pinoy Ako Blog, has won her data privacy case against Thinking Pinoy’s Rey Joseph “RJ” Nieto.
“As a direct result of defendant Nieto’s unauthorized sharing of plaintiff’s sensitive, personal information, plaintiff received various harassing and threatening messages, both publicly and privately, over social media from strangers supportive of defendant Nieto’s action,” the court added. Nieto’s defense included claims that Laurio has a public Facebook account where personal information was available, and that he had a right to free speech.
The blog published fact-checks, and criticism of the Duterte administration. Nieto was a pro-Duterte blogger. On Nieto’s claim to right to free speech, the court said, “the blog posted by the defendant clearly falls under the type of speech that is not entitled to constitutional protection and may be penalized.”
