Author of social media registration bill decries 'too much democracy' online


Rep. Arnolfo Teves (Negros Oriental), who has filed a bill to require the registration of social media accounts, spoke on the House floor on Monday to complain about "online bashers" and of the Philippines having "too much democracy." 


"Bashing on social media is too much, it doesn’t seem right. I think there needs to be a law for this," [..] discipline should be emphasized over "too much democracy." - He added. 


Teves' social media registration bill

House Bill 129 aims to discourage hate speech from anonymous users by requiring individuals to submit valid identification cards to register a social media account. The measure proposes unspecified fines against social media platform that fail to authenticate user accounts and that cannot provide user information in case of a lawsuit against a social media account on the platform. 


Teves — author of bills to name the Ninoy Aquino International Airport after ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos and to recognize "ghosting" " as a form of emotional abuse — said he has critics on social media as well but said that he invites them to follow his accounts.
