NBI hunting ‘brains’ of fake news peddlers
By J.Lo
“I have instructed our technical intelligence and cybercrime divisions to take decisive action…we want these individuals to know that we are serious about this,” National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director Jaime Santiago said NCI is now digging who is bankrolling spread of fake news on social media.
Question NBI seeks to answer soon, as it works to unmask mastermind behind extensive disinformation campaign.
Santiago said NBI is investigating whether individuals or groups are funding vloggers to disseminate false information online.
Probe comes after arrest of fake news vlogger in Cebu, who denied working under anyone’s orders or receiving payment to spread false information.
As part of its ongoing efforts, NBI is closely monitoring at least 20 vloggers suspected of spreading fake news and is gathering evidence to file cases against them.
“They are already listed, and we have identified them,” Santiago said.
Santiago said NBI is keeping close watch on both little-known and high-profile individuals involved in spreading false information.
“We are preserving all their statements and published content,” he warned.
Meanwhile, Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group is also intensifying its efforts to combat fake news, misinformation and disinformation circulating online.
Lt. Wallen Arancillo, PNP ACG spokesperson, said authorities are actively conducting online investigations and monitoring illegal online activities, with false information being most prevalent issue detected.
“When we identify accounts posting fake news, we conduct investigation until we determine actual owner behind post,” Arancillo said.
He added PNP ACG has been directed to strengthen its efforts against online misinformation, particularly those that misuse uniformed personnel in misleading posts.
One notable piece of false information being spread online claims many PNP officers are resigning due to arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte, something police force has dismissed as baseless.
Arancillo had spoken with chief of PNP’s intelligence unit, who confirmed online investigations are ongoing, and necessary documents are being prepared for further action.
PNP ACG urged public to be vigilant against fake news and refrain from sharing unverified information, emphasizing spreading falsehoods could lead to legal consequences.
