You know it's bad when Forbes 'The Capitalist Tool' thinks a cybercrime law has gone too far...<br>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am just sharing about what's going on my turf. Apparently the Philippine Government passed a CyberCRime Prevention Act - well, I suppose that's good against hacking, identity theft and spamming. But there's a provision on online libel that's pretty getting
on every Filipino's nerves.Anything that you would post, for instance, in Facebook criticizing anybody is considered libel. This also includes sharing or liking a post or picture. Just to show that sometimes politicians have no business making laws they know
nothing much. Here's a news story from Forbes below:</div>
