The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) warned vloggers that they may be held liable for issuing remarks that could incite sedition, as the right to freedom of expression is not absolute.
NBI director Jaime Santiago reminded the public, especially vloggers, that freedom of expression has limitations.
“Like for example, if you are inciting sedition or you are causing too much defamation and you have no basis, we can definitely investigate that for the filing of cases,” Santiago said.
To recall, the NBI received a letter from Surigao del Norte Representative Robert Ace Barbers, who urged investigating agencies to proactively address cybercrimes, even without formal complaints.
