While the DICT secretary believes that upright citizens will never resort to improper use of the internet, he exemplifies online gamblers as among those they may have to safeguard internet use from.
A potential repercussion in case of identified abuse includes a limited number of hours of usage per individual per day or limited data allocation per day per individual.
In addition, Uy also said that porn sites and gambling sites will be blocked.
