Saq13:Related Philippine Law

1. Are you in favor of the enactment and enforcement of laws that will regulate and control the use of computer technology? Why or why not? Defend your answer.

Yes, I’m in favor of the enactment and enforcement of laws that will regulate and control the use of computer technology. Using computer technology it will give the user too much benefits. In a way that we can use it for faster transaction, to have a communication, to advertise, to come up with a new knowledge, to discover new things like researching, to gain money, to have online study and to have a job. But computer technology could harm as too, if there is no law that will control the use of computer technology. It can damage one’s property, one’s reputation and many other else. Computer technology can be used to a war. Like Mr. Isagani Osio said, it can launch missiles to annihilate human lives and we don’t want this to happen. Country to country can declare war using computer technology. Sometimes being in a computer world (internet) is not a private anymore because there are too many hackers that could easily destabilize your work or data. If there is no law controlling the use of computer technology many users will violate the law. Many cases of computer crimes will be unresolved. And in my opinion I will not use the computer technology anymore because I don’t trust it. It will just give me pain.

2. If you were to decide the case of Landmark Hacking, what will be your judgment? Support your answer.

Leilani Garcia is not guilty. Impact she is authorized to access the computer systems of Thames International Business School that was provided by Cesar Maňalac. She has a password. I ‘am in favor that Maňalac is just using her for his own benefit or to cover up with his case. In this case intrusion allegedly happened last December 17,24,25,31, 2000 and January 1, 2001. My question is that why Cesar Maňalac IT support Chief of Thames did not notice that earlier and did not file administrative case against her when she was still working with the company? Miss Garcia is a school system supervisor from January 29, 2000 until her resignation in March 23, 2001. As a supervisor she knows what is done or practices in that company. If Miss Garcia is guilty about this and she is the only one who’s doing it, the company must issue a violation against Garcia. In this case the company does not comply with the Standard Operating Procedures that ones an employee violate procedures in that company she will be punish and charge. There is a sanction. I just think that ones you are a member of one orgnization it is your privilege to access their account.
