4. Give your reflection on the Cybercrime Prevention Acct 0f 2012

- The Philippines recently passed the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which
recognizes the importance of the information and communications industries in the
country's overall social and economic development, as well as the need to protect and
safeguard computer systems and networks from all forms of misuse, abuse, and illegal
access. Cybersex, cyberbullying, and child pornography are now crimes, and those who
engage in them can be prosecuted. This Act safeguards the rights of children. This Act
protects all types of enterprises that use the internet as a medium.

5. Give your reflection on the different crime crimes in our country.

- People are forced to commit crimes such as pickpocketing and snatching owing
to excessive hunger and simple economic reasons such as a lack of education,
unemployment, and population expansion. As a result of these factors, people are forced
to commit crimes such as pickpocketing and snatching. Crimes are committed in areas
populated by the impoverished of the city. It need not be named, but if the statements
would determine who the defamed person is, malice exists when the offender knows it is
false or with no disregard of whether it is false or not, civil action for damages may be
brought by the offended party, and the complainant should file the case where they reside
at the time of the commission of the offense. Cybercrime, also called computer crime, is
the use of a computer as an instrument to further illegal ends such as committing fraud,
trafficking child pornography, intellectual property violations, stealing identities, or
violation of privacy. The difference between traditional criminal offences and cybercrime
is the use of the computer in committing such offences.
