Lacson Eyes National ID as Primary Age Check for Social Media Users

To protect Filipino youths from the ill effects of social media, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson proposed on Monday the use of the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) or National ID as the primary basis for verifying the age of users seeking access to social media platforms.

Lacson, the principal author of Senate Bill 2424 or the proposed Child Online Safety and Protection Act as he was the first to file a bill on the subject (Senate Bill 40), sought to simplify the process and remove technicalities and gray areas that could result in problems in its implementation.

Ping Lacson Bill to Protect Youth by Regulating Social Media Use by Minors

To protect Filipino youths from the harmful effects of too much exposure to social media, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson has filed a bill regulating the use of social media platforms by minors.

Lacson cited studies showing how the excessive use of social media is linked to risk for mental health problems, as well as anxiety, depression and social isolation.

“A UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) study … revealed that Filipino children and adolescents have grown vulnerable to cyberbullying, body image pressures, and online harassment because of social media exposure,” he said in Senate Bill 40, “An Act Regulating the Use of Social Media Platforms by Minors, Imposing Age Restrictions, Providing Penalties for Violations Thereof, and for Other Purposes.”

On the Comelec’s Regulation of Political Ads in Social Media

The regulation of political ads in social media on those who officially become candidates upon filing of the Certificate of Candidacy is fair to everybody, especially those who have less campaign funds to use for campaign ads.

Definitely, it is a welcome development since it won’t put the administration candidates at an advantage, as they are always presumed to have more than enough resources at their disposal.
