00:00Have you ever thought of posting private messages online to expose someone?
00:06A customer who has not yet paid the order?
00:09A neighbor who is poor and has a lot to say?
00:12A person who is in debt but has not yet paid?
00:15Or if not, your ex-partner who cheated?
00:20Before you type and post anything,
00:24do you think about the possible repercussions of what you will do?
00:30In the digital world, we should not only think before we click,
00:34we should also think before we post.
00:37Because posting private things online and exposing someone
00:42can involve you in legal and civil issues.
00:47What are the legal and civil consequences
00:50of posting private messages and conversations online?
00:54Let's find out here in Emaiel 101.
01:01Dianne, there's a lot of talk lately
01:04about posting private conversations and messages on social media.
01:08Are there people who are dead in the issue?
01:10Some say that this is punishable by law,
01:12so we should be careful.
01:14That's true, Prof.
01:16But it's not the only time that it becomes an issue.
01:18The unauthorized sharing of private conversations
01:22is often done by other online sellers or even random citizens online.
01:27It's really important to talk about this in the digital space.
01:31That's why we're going to talk about this here in Emaiel 101.
01:35And to answer our curiosities and questions about this,
01:38we have with us Atty. Ellen DeVivar.
01:41Good morning, Atty. Ellen.
01:43This is Dianne and Prof.
01:45Ma'am, please turn on your audio in our V-Mix
01:50so that we can hear you.
01:52Okay.
01:53Good morning.
01:55Good morning.
01:56Good morning, Filipinas.
01:58Good morning.
01:59And sorry, we mentioned that it's noisy on social media
02:03the issue of posting and sharing private messages in public
02:07without the consent of the parties involved.
02:10Is this punishable by law, Atty.?
02:14Yes.
02:15If there's no consent and the law is not binding
02:18and there's no investigation about a crime,
02:22it will be punishable.
02:26Atty. Ellen, I'm just curious.
02:28How will those private conversations be shared?
02:32For example, screenshots.
02:34Her defense is similar to mine.
02:37I was also raped.
02:39These are proofs that I was also hurt.
02:44I was also a victim here.
02:46I posted it on social media.
02:48How do we reconcile the two different opinions on this issue, Atty. Ellen?
02:55That's where the case will go if you already filed a case.
02:58For example, if a participant is a victim and she filed a case,
03:06that's where the screenshots of the post should be shown.
03:10But we shouldn't bring that to social media right away
03:13if there's no case yet.
03:16That's one of the exceptions.
03:18There should be a case, an investigation on a criminal case
03:22before we bring it to the public.
03:25What could be the case or cases that can be filed for this kind of situation?
03:30Because I understand, on my end, my point of view here could be libel.
03:36Either the accuser will prove that there's no evidence
03:41or the complainant will prove that what she's saying is true in good faith.
03:45Atty., what could be the case here?
03:49If there's no evidence, the participants in the chat conversation
03:55could be accused of unauthorized processing of personal information
04:01under the Data Privacy Act.
04:04Or if this can damage their reputation,
04:07they could be charged with cyber libel.
04:10So they could be charged with oral defamation through online
04:16or cyber libel.
04:19In other contexts,
04:21there are online sellers and business owners
04:26who post their chats.
04:29Is that also prohibited, Atty.?
04:31You should also say goodbye to your customers.
04:35Yes, definitely.
04:36Because it can damage the reputation of the person.
04:39It's not discussed in the libel if what you're saying is true or not.
04:45Whether she's not paying or she's paying,
04:47that's not the issue.
04:48The issue here is that what you posted can damage the reputation of the person.
04:53Then, the libel or cyber libel will be charged.
04:57Okay.
04:58How severe are the consequences that can be faced here
05:02in terms of the cases?
05:04How many years of imprisonment?
05:06What's the fine?
05:07Go ahead, Atty.
05:09Okay.
05:10In data privacy law,
05:12if there's an unauthorized processing of personal data,
05:15if it's not sensitive,
05:17there's a fine of 1 to 3 years
05:19and a fine of P500,000 to P2,000,000.
05:22If the personal data is sensitive,
05:25there's a fine of up to 6 years.
05:27And the fine is up to P3,000,000.
05:33That's a big fine.
05:35In the case of cyber libel,
05:37the imprisonment can be up to more than 6 years.
05:41And there's also a fine or damages
05:44if the person is asking for money.
05:47Atty., I'm just curious.
05:49Let's say there's a screenshot that was published
05:52and it was shared by the public.
05:56It was shared.
05:57It was discussed.
05:58There were other contents online.
06:01Will the punishment be more severe?
06:04Or will it be discussed in a wider scale?
06:08Because of that post?
06:10It depends.
06:11It depends, ma'am.
06:12The issue here is,
06:13is the person being discussed identified?
06:16Are there sensitive personal information that came out?
06:21It still depends.
06:23Even if it was tested,
06:25if the person is not identifiable
06:27or not recognized,
06:29if it's like a blind item,
06:31there's nothing wrong with that.
06:33But if the person is identified,
06:35and a lot of people know him,
06:42then it will be included in the violations of the law.
06:47So, Atty., should the person's name be mentioned?
06:51Or as long as the people insinuated
06:54that the person being heard,
06:56or the blind item,
06:57is this person,
06:58that person being heard,
07:00could file a case?
07:01Is that so?
07:02The person's name doesn't need to be mentioned.
07:06If the person is identified,
07:08even if it's a blind item,
07:09but if the person is identified,
07:11then it can be included in the violations of the law.
07:14It's very descriptive.
07:16I know that.
07:17But what are your practical tips, Atty.?
07:20This is not just for cases.
07:23In different contexts,
07:25when posting screenshots online,
07:28when there's no consent from the parties,
07:30what are the tips you can give?
07:33Well, my advice to us is,
07:38all of our rights are not absolute.
07:42So, there are limitations.
07:44So, before we really do things,
07:48let's think if it can affect the rights of other people.
07:52Because once it affects the rights of other people,
07:55then it's no longer your rights.
07:59So, all of our rights are not absolute.
08:02There are some rights that are absolute,
08:05but there are more rights that are not absolute.
08:08All right.
08:09Atty., what should they do
08:11if they are the victim of an authorized sharing of private conversations?
08:17Well, they can go to the Data Privacy Commission.
08:20Actually, they have a website
08:22where you can lodge a complaint.
08:24If you fill out the form,
08:28then you can lodge your complaint through online
08:31through the Data Privacy Commission.
08:33And if it's a libelous remark
08:35or it can damage your reputation,
08:37then you can file a complaint
08:39to the police station,
08:41to the prosecution office.
08:43There.
08:44Let's just attach our evidence to our complaint.
08:49Well, Atty., thank you for sharing your insights about this topic.
08:53Well, it's very simple.
08:55For us, posting conversations online,
08:58there are times when we shouldn't just share
09:02and post because we don't want it to affect our reputation, right, Prof?
09:07It can affect our emotions.
09:09Anyway, let's remember your reasons.
09:12In sharing, it can lead to an issue
09:15and have a negative impact.
09:17As we said, we can't just think before we click.
09:21We should think before we post.
09:24We would like to thank Atty. Ellen Divivar-Pachon.
09:27Atty. Ellen, thank you again.
09:29Thank you so much.
09:30Thank you. Good morning.
