Let’s Learn!
What is Ethics?

Ethics is the discipline dealing with

what is good and bad and with moral
duty and obligation (Merriam
Webster). From this definition, we
can glean that if we are to live a
satisfying and guilt-free life, we must
always be ethical (i.e., conforming to
accepted standards of conduct) in all
our dealings with other people.
Sadly, not all people do this.
Thus, there are victims of
phishing, identity theft,
cyber bullying, etc. As a
netizen, how can you protect
yourself from these?
In this lesson, you will learn what these crimes are,
how you could protect yourself from these, and how to
be ethical users of mobile devices.
We must always think about
our security and safety even
in using our mobile devices.
Thus, we must ask ourselves
how we can stay safe and
secure all the while we use
our mobile devices online or
offline. This means acting
responsibly and proactively to
avoid becoming a victim of
cyber crimes.
In this lesson, you will
learn the safe practices
and ethical use of mobile
devices. But first, you
must know some crimes
which are related to your
activities using mobile
devices to show you how
danger can be avoided.
These thieves or hackers as they are aptly
called are not your average or ordinary
thieves. These are extremely intelligent
individuals when it comes to computers and
information technology. Thus, they are
coming up with various ways of doing their
crimes. As a netizen, we must know how to
protect ourselves from becoming victims.

Here’s how.
✓ Be aware of the cybercrime law.
✓ Practice online safety.
CYBER LAW
Cyber law is a legal system
that deals with activities
over the internet. This is
created to protect people
and organizations on the
internet from cybercrimes
offenders. If someone
breaks it, he/she will be
punished depending on the
cyber law present in the
certain country.
Cybercrime Laws in the Philippines
In our country, Republic Act No. 10175, or the Cybercrime
Prevention Act of 2012, was signed into law by President
Aquino on Sept. 12, 2012. This law aims to regulate the
online behavior of Filipino internet users so they don’t fall
prey to online predators and/or they don’t become one
unknowingly.
Most of us tend to behave differently (rudely, if
truth be told) online because we think our
“online life” is detached from our “real life.”
Thus, we write comments on social media
that hurt or damage the reputation of other
people even when we are not sure about
the truthfulness of what we are saying. The
idea of not getting caught or punished seem
to have made most internet users feel
invincible and have made them more
reckless or uncaring about the
consequences of their actions online.
The passing of the Cybercrime
Prevention Act of 2012
rendered that thinking
obsolete. With the many
advancements on technology
nowadays, our law enforcers
can trace our digital footprint
(i.e., information about you
that exists on the internet as a
result of your online activity)
and catch us if we commit a
crime.
For instance, did you
know that you can be
jailed for 12 years for
posting defamatory (i.e.,
damaging the good
reputation of someone)
comments on Facebook
or other social media
under RA 10175?
You defame someone when you write comments
that damage the good reputation of someone.
Not mentioning the name of the person you are
defaming won’t be a defense when the comments
have made it clearly identiable who the person is.
In other words, it’s that “kulang na lang banggitin
‘yung pangalan” line in the vernacular. So, the
next time you post a comment, be very careful
about what you write. Remember, defaming
someone online is cyber libel punishable under
RA 10175 and the Revised Penal Code (Section
355).
On the flip side, what
do you do if you are
the target of a
libelous comment on
social media? The
NBI Anti-Cybercrime
Unit outlines the
following steps:
These online predators use chat rooms, instant messenging, or
social networking sites to lure minors like you into taking
photos or videos of you in sexual activities in exchange for
money. What is heartbreaking about this crime is when the
parents themselves are the ones forcing their children to
engage in sexual activities, takes photos or videos, then sell
these to online predators. Going back to the question earlier,
how can you protect yourself from being victimized by online
predators? Simple. Do not have online conversations with
people you don’t know, under any circumstances.
Why is it important to protect ourselves
from cybercrime?

Cybersecurity is important because it

protects all categories of data from theft
and damage. This includes sensitive data,
personally identifiable information (PII),
protected health information (PHI),
personal information, intellectual property,
data, and governmental and industry
information systems.
