Goodbye, trolls?' Senate approves bill requiring SIM card registration

In efforts to prevent scams, fake news, and other fraudulent mobile activity, the Senate has approved on its third and final reading a bill that will require subscribers to register and present a valid ID before purchasing a SIM card.

Once passed, Senate Bill 2395, or the SIM Card Registration Act will end criminal activities conducted or enabled through mobile phones, the internet or other electronic communication devices.

And if you register with a fake identity? That can earn you jail time—the use of fictitious identities to register SIM cards or spoofing ranges from six months to twelve months of imprisonment, or a fine of P200,000.

The bill will also prohibit the unauthorized sale of registered SIM cards, and failure to comply with registration requirements.

The lawmakers hope that this will finally put an end to trolls and fake account users.

ang sad neto.. pero teka lang ibig bang sabihin nito limited na lang ang pagbili ng simcards halimbawa sa isang tao ilang simcards lang ang pwede nyang bilhin?

 

[ARVIN M]

Dapat National I.D yung gamitin para sa sim card registration. Baka hindi rin mapatupad yan. Madami magrereklamo niyan.

 

[DARKCLOUDS]

sana pagandahin naman yung mga services at promos ng mga sim kase wala naman gagawan ng freenet at vpn kung maayos naman sila diba?

possible iyan wala na rin mag bulk order ng mga simcards. mukhang may mag hoard ng maraming sim card pag natupad iyan

 

[mrpeanutbutter]

Madedeactivate ba sa katagalan yung mga sim cards na hindi naparegister kahit ginagamit naman? Sana hindi.

diba kaya nangutang ng mga trilliones ang gobyerno natin para lang bumawi at gumagawa lang ng pointless, stupid, laws ang mga mabbabatas. Oo malaking tulong din ito sa mga scammers pero may dark side parin ito para sa mga Pilipino. For the sake of profit.
