 That is some scary stuff... So early and the harassments had already begun.
 If you guys want to join in the rally tomorrow in front of the Supreme court.. 
I think they are the Anakbayan group.. For your safety you can contact this 
number tomorrow if you would be joining in.. 
 0939-831-4154

 You can just contact the person and tell them that you will be joining in. My 
friend just gave me the number and he said that they appreciate the effort and 
will be happy
 that you join in.

 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.
