The MTRCB would rather go after a specific online content violating existing laws, rather than block or take down an entire website. | MAgerINQ
Sotto-Antonio made the remark after the Department of Information and Communications Technology told the committee that it is already blocking or removing websites found to be violating the Anti- Child Pornography Act.
“Ang kailangan lang po ng DICT ay legal basis para ito po ay gawin,” said De Leon of the DICT legislative liaison division. It was at this point that Sotto-Antonio clarified that they would only go after a specific online content, and not the removal of an entire website.She said they would nevertheless discuss with the DICT as the MTRCB would have to establish a complaints mechanism if the bills would be approved in Congress.Like the DICT, the NTC also expressed readiness to help the MTRCB go after violators as long as such power would be provided clearly in the proposed law.
