An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Did anyone really expect the SIM registration law will affect the amount of cybercrimes?

The premise that was sold to me is that it'd help in prosecuting any crimes committed by making it easier to track down whoever commits a cybercrime. And from the article, it seems that part is at least working as expected:

However, the police pointed out a silver lining: Their resolution rate also went up from 70 percent in 2022 to 95 percent for the first half of this year.

Well, it's already effective before the SIM registration law though, and I don't really want a suspiciously high 99% resolution rate (like some countries you least expect). In fact, I think 95% is already suspiciously high (since, you know, making people confess through thoroughly and completely legal means, don't even ask).

Cybercriminals can be progressive. In the end, it's a cat and mouse.

Yeah, it's always been that way. Criminals are always a step (or several) ahead of the law--and the only way for law enforcement agencies to cope is to be creative within the confines of the law.

Eh... well, creative? In this government? Sa ibang activities napunta ang creativity nila eh!
