MANILA, Philippines — A Manila court granted cybercrime units of the Philippine National Police plea for two warrants to disclose computer data ordering social media giants Facebook and YouTube to release subscriber information, chats, images, and other content posted on social media on the accounts of “Usapang Diskarte."

 

In a statement, the PNP's Anti-Cybercrime Group and Women and Children Cybercrime Protection Unit said that they requested Facebook and YouTube to preserve the data of the accounts to avoid losing the needed information necessary for the filing of a case against the uploader. The request was granted on July 20 and 28, respectively.

 

Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 24 in its warrant said that there is probable cause to believe that a violation of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 had been committed by the account, particularly provisions in the law outlawing child pornography.
