Child pornography is a blight upon society-- it drives families apart, taints the mind, and destroys the hopes and dreams of innocent children. A response, a call to action is needed to eliminate this evil that tears the foundations of society apart. To this end, a law was passed to fight child pornography entitled R.A. 9775 or the Anti-Child Pornography Law of 2009. However, we must be wary of the implications of the new law and make certain that all measures be exhausted to ensure that it can never be used, intentionally or unintentionally, to the detriment of society. The goal of this research was to determine whether or not Section 9 of R.A. 9775, or the Anti-Child Pornography Law, bears stipulations that are not in line with the privacy and freedom of expression rights guaranteed in the 1987 Philippine Constitution, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). To this end, this research tackled the internet filtering and ISP monitoring classes found in Section 9 of R.A 9775.
