Freedom is a Four-Letter Word

Panels from Alan Moore and David Lloyd's "V for Vendetta"

What a sad day for the Philippines. As of today, Oct. 3, the Cybercrime Law is in effect. Netizens are protesting its controversial and vague online libel clause, which poses a real threat to free expression. How ironic and tragic that we’ve been reminded the horrors of Martial Law during its anniversary just a few weeks ago, only to be sucker-punched by a hastily approved law that’s looming with potential for abuse.

Stop voting for those responsible for this heinous fiasco. Learn from this terrible lesson.
