President Duterte has vetoed the proposed Subscriber Identity Module card registration law that seeks the mandatory registration of all such cards and social media accounts.Presidential Communications Secretary and Acting Presidential Spokesperson Martin Andanar confirmed this in a statement on Friday, April 15.
“The President noted that the inclusion of social media providers in the registration requirement was not part of the original version of the bill and needs a more thorough study,” Andanar said.“The President similarly found that certain aspects of state intrusion, or the regulation thereof, have not been duly defined, discussed, or threshed out in the enrolled bill, with regard to social media registration,” Andanar further said.
However, “he was constrained to disagree with the inclusion of social media in the measure, without providing proper guidelines and definitions thereto, as the same may give rise to a situation of dangerous state intrusion and surveillance threatening many constitutionally protected rights.”
