The Philippine National Police (PNP) blocks two to three websites that authorities say promote real-world violence and involve online grooming amid recent school-related threats, the PNP says. The action is described as part of efforts to prevent content that urges children to harm others.
The PNP says its Anti-Cybercrime Group coordinates with the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). In separate reporting, the PNP spokesperson says the NTC directs internet service providers to make the sites inaccessible in the Philippines. While one outlet specifies “two websites” and another characterizes the number as “two to three,” both accounts attribute the blocking to concerns about encouraging violence and targeting minors.
Both sources present the steps as request-and-response between the PNP and the NTC, followed by implementation by internet service providers. Details about the websites’ operators, the specific content cited, or whether additional sites may be blocked are not included in the provided excerpts.
