I've got 10 years worth of blog posts that I need to censor because of this new anti-cyber-libel law.
If you've ever said anything defamatory online, whether it be a harmless sarcastic joke, a supposedly helpful in-your-face constructive criticism, or a straight-up insult... better take them down as soon as you can. You're looking at a 12-year sentence or a 1 million Peso fine if someone rats you out. And yeah, since apparently, this law transcends time, everything counts as long as it is still published online.
I'm pretty sure that flaming in forums can also be considered libelous with this new law. Good luck backtracking and deleting all those posts you made when you didn't agree with someone. They will come back to haunt you - even if you've hidden yourself behind an alias.
