‘Liberal attitude’ towards Internet use hinders effective social media monitoring — PTFOMS

The Presidential Task Force on Media Security has reported difficulty in monitoring the number of media outlets operating on social media, citing the government’s liberal attitude towards the Internet.

“The figures do not include those operating using the various social media platforms but the number totaled in the thousands. The difficulty in monitoring the number of media outlets operating in the social media realm is due mainly to the fact that the Philippine government has always been liberal in its attitude towards the Internet,” PTFOMS said in its statement released on World Press Freedom Day.
