Hi,
Reading this sent shivers down my spine:

Assuming it's true, then this is scary, scary stuff.

Hi,
Maybe offtopic question. Can the government also check/sniff our
online bank account?
Here is an online copy of the bill,
http://www.gov.ph/2012/09/12/republic-act-no-10175/
Section 12 talks about your concern. Law enforcement agencies are
only allowed to record metadata (such as IP headers, time stamps,
routing information, etc.) about your online transactions. They can
not use the content against you without a warrant. However, in
reality, when you record IP transactions, the data is recorded along
with it. They are not just authorized to have a peek at the data
without a warrant.
Most banks use some form of encryption. The authorities can record
your IP transactions but they will have a difficult time reading
encrypted content.
The law would increase the use of encryption.
