Media and Internet organizations insisted the need to amend Cybercrime law

TWO major media organizations in the country have clashing position regarding the need to regulate the internet, through legislation, but both agreed that the existing Cybercrime prevention Act of 2012 should be amended.

During the joint hearing of the Senate committee hearing on the proposed amendments on the Cybrecrime law Monday, the National Press Club (NPC) said that while it is not in favor of some of the provisions in the law, it is not against the enactment of law that would regulate the internet.
