Cybercrime law is suspended by Philippines court
The new law covers a range of online activitiesThe Philippines' top court has suspended a controversial law targeting cybercrime, following protests by critics who say it stifles free speech.
The new law, called the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, came into effect earlier this month.
It was intended to prevent online child pornography, identity theft and spamming, officials say. Reports say a 120-day suspension is in place.
The law also made libel a cybercrime punishable by up to 12 years in jail.
The Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order preventing the act from being enforced after 15 petitions questioning its legality were filed.
