UP Masscom website turns black in protest to Cybercrime Law

The official website of the University of the Philippines Mass Communication (UP Masscom) went dark as a protest to the Cybercrime Law.

The darken front page will have the mouse as flash light and it contains a logo saying "Uphold Internet Freedom."

The site said:

This site has gone dark today in protest of the Philippine Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. It poses serious threats to Internet freedom, the right to privacy and other essential civil liberties including the freedom of speech, expression, and the press.

With the government taking Internet freedom away, the Filipino people will not just stand and watch. Internet freedom is a human right, and we will defend it both in the virtual and the real world.

The front page also calls for the people to sign the petition to Junk the Cybercrime Prevention Law.
