Philippines' election body wants laws vs online trolls, regulated social media

MANILA, May 30 (Philippines Daily Inquirer/ANN): The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will push for laws regulating social media and eliminating the use of trolls during the campaign period.

“We would like to readily admit that because of the absence of a law regulating social media in the Philippines that the Comelec is really powerless, at least to monitor what you have said,” Comelec Commissioner George Garcia said on ANC’s Rundown.
