NTC to require license before posting content online?
The NTC wants to require license for persons and entities just to create and post content online. You have got to be kidding me. LOL. Kakahiya naman ito for Filipinos.
Mike Abundo writes that: “Yes, you read that right. The Philippine government wants to require licenses for people to create and post content online. Under the proposal’s extremely broad definition of a content developer, you would need a license just to comment on this post.
This is the most unenforceable proposal I have ever seen. What are they going to do, require five million Filipino Friendster users to get a license before posting pictures? This proposal clearly comes from the outdated mindset that only corporations can develop content.”
My Opinion? Ang talino naman ng nakaisip nito *end sarcasm*

Comedic genius.
Hi Kiven! I think I will do rougher blog post regarding this one on my site later LOL!
License – This is the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard this week. Why? We are not enjoying a low number of connected people online. And these connected individuals do their best to express their ideas, thoughts and opinion by building content on their own web site. Now, is that bad? Is it hurting the Philippines?
There are other Pinoys abroad who are also doing the same thing. Most of them have their own Blog, a part of a social network or a contributor to new media. They enjoy, they share and they are recognize.
I guess the world would stop spinning if we burn idiots creating policies that promotes productivity and recognition.
Just my 2 centavos.
Rob
What is going on? Are they serious?
I agree with you sobrang talino ng nakaisip nian umawas na utak nila hahahahhaha!
SCREW whoever thought of this in NTC!!!! and i mean SCREW THEM!!!! they are MORONS!!!!
*now i don’t need a license to say that!!!!*
@PHSocialMedia – Hey Rob, “rougher” ba? hehe easy lang. will try to update you guys after the hearing this PM.
@Ron – im trying to clarify the terms andf scope of this proposal pa =)
@PressFreedom – thanks for your very clear opinion. sakto sa nick mo hehe
This goes to show how many idiots we have in the government.
I dont usually comment on posts. But this one is absolutely STUPID. They’re literally undermining technology. They think they could monitor like what, five million online filipinos? License their ass.
and y oh y? so are they trying to get our freedom on blogging? or another way to make some money? syempre getting license or whatsoever requires payment. urgh! this is not so good!
the government: hmmmm, shelter for street kids or bother bloggers for no apparent reason? what to do . . . what to do . . .
Crazy and stupid. This government of ours doesn’t know the depths of its own stupidity with such a proposal. Makes you wonder why people want GMA and her cohort to step down–well, now you know.
Philippine Government officials is stupid they want us to pay our freedom of speech m-o-t-@@@@@@@
Ang daming mambabatas na tangengot at mga akala mo eh mga matatalino sa computer.
Mag-isip muna sila bago magsalita.
nakakainis pangalawang comment ko na to.
Kasi yang mga tongresman na yan eh. Mga mukang ewan.
Kala mo dami nilang alam sa computer. Makapang korakot lang.
Kahit out of this world na panukala gagawin.
Nakakainis sarap batukan eh. Ihiga sa buhanginan at paduguin ang mukha nung kung sino mang tongresman ang nag-isip nito.
Nangigigil ako talaga eh. Masyadong uhog ang mga utak nito.
Nagdudunung dungan yang mga yan eh. Baka nga URL hindi alam ng mga matatandang tongresman na yan eh.
kakahiya talaga kung sino man nakaisip nyan hahaha
Is this a way to control the web content posting, or just another way to earn money (taxation)?
…If so, will students who will be reviewing/ posting critic on certain materials on the web will be required for this license for their scholarly work? How about common household people who would just be posting comments on Friendster or Multiply, will they be covered? How about those people posting their homemade videos on YouTube?
…Sad to say, this will kill most of our web and Intellectual sharing, for those people who can’t afford to buy their license certificate. And much worse, we cannot use our Copyright privileges, because this memorandum, if approved, will also kill all our Copyright’s Fair Use. Same with some provisions in the Bill of Rights such as Freedom of Speech and Journalism.
…All I can say is, this is another first for Filipinos. Baka gusto lang ng Pilipinas na maging kakaiba. To NTC: If you want us to be different, make it reasonable and worthwhile… Wag puro negosyo. Maging makatao kayo!
MY STAND ON THIS…
…Yes folks, I find this silly. How could the Government control and regulate blogs and content postings on the Internet? Ang laking pera ang mage-generate nito at siguradong yayaman ang gobyerno. Almost a million Filipinos were posting contents on the web daily.
…How about those previous accounts and blogs posted on the web? Ibig sabihin pag hindi nakapag-apply ng license, pwedeng ipa-delete na lang ang Friendster, Multiply, Facebook, or YouTube content? At pumayag naman kaya ang mga web hosting sites na ito na i-delete na lang basta ang mga accounts natin ng walang valid reason? Just remember, most of these web hosting such as YouTube and Multiply are run by International entities. Magiging kahiya-hiya lang tayo kung halimbawa ire-request ng NTC sa YouTube, Friendster, or Multiply ang pag-delete ng accounts dahil walang content license. To them (International website creators), that would simply mean that our Government are just making money out of their sites or out of anybody, Nakakahiya! And besides, most of us are using the web voluntarily, and it’s our own discretion if we disclose our personal and/ or private matters on the web (Let the existing Privacy Law and the Copyright Law take care of those matters if problems would occur).
…There’s no need to apply for any content licenses blah blah blah, gastos lang ‘yan at pagpapahirap sa mga mamamayan. Just enforce a stricter measure or Cyber Law to those who would be committing Electronic/ Cyber crimes, that’s all we ever need.
…Akala ko pinaka malala na ang Copyright Infringement blah blah na ini-impose ng Warner Music Group at Universal Music sa mga YouTube videos na may alleged third party content daw kuno para ipadelete ang mga homemade videos. Mas may lalala pa pala dito, hehe.
Isn’t this a clear abuse of authority? Mmmm… Sana ibasura na lang nila ang memorandum na ito, dahil tiyak makakaapekto ito sa ating lahat – Filipino Community.
…Pag nagkataon wala nang magpo-post ng Informative/ News contents. At kung pagbabayarin ng license ang mga free hosting/ site creators and developers, baka pati pag access natin sa mga educational/ social sites ay magkaroon na din ng bayad. Pag nagkataon, kawawa ang mga estudyanteng gumagamit ng Internet for their research and studies
(
…what’s even more scary in this memorandum if approved is that this might create a Martial Law on Cyber Space. Our Government could easily impose or file unreasonable license cases to just anybody who’s primary concerns were to comment on or criticize current public issues. I admit, I was among social activists who regularly posts my comments on significant issues on the worldwide web, as I’m an active blogger (a freelance Journalist).
“…It must be recalled that during the Marcos regime, and during Martial Law days in the 70′s, maraming ipinakulong at ipinapatay na mga tumitira sa Gobyerno. Let’s pray na huwag naman sanang mangyari ito sa Internet. Dahil pag nagkataon, mawawalan ng boses ang masa.” Scary, paranoid, or overly exaggerated? Well, that’s only my FICTIONAL point of view… But yes, this might happen.
