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.
