Abstract/Summary

In this thesis, the analysis of the recently passed Republic Act No. 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 is done, specifically on the specific provisions that were considered erroneous, not only by the Proponents but also some cyber law experts in our country. As a law legislated to control the influx of the several threats posed by the Internet, the need for such was completely something that our country was lacking. However, even though in general, it is for the protection of the people, there some parts of the Act that hampers some of the basic rights of the Filipinos, including the right to due process and the freedom of expression and speech. Through analysis of the said Act as well as the incorporation of other established foreign cyber laws, we were able to trace the difference to some of the provisions as to its specificity and nature. This would definitely help in the proper legislation of the Act, not only those controversial provisions but also those which are erroneous in application, as it now on its deliberative stages.
