Mahigit 100 website na nagho-host o nag-i-stream ng footage ng school shootings at iba pang matinding karahasan ang iba-block ng PLDT, Smart at Globe kasunod ng pamamaril sa isang paaralan sa Zamboanga City.

Sinabi ng PLDT na saklaw din ng blocking ang network ng Smart, kaya hindi na maa-access ng kanilang subscribers ang mga natukoy na website.

“We have decided to ban these kinds of sites preemptively, as soon as they are discovered. Our networks will not be used as a channel for content that glorifies violence and puts our communities, especially our children, at risk,”  ani PLDT Chief Operating Officer Butch Jimenez.

Ayon naman kay Globe General Counsel Froilan Castelo, may pananagutan ang telcos na makatulong sa mas ligtas na online environment, lalo na para sa mga bata.
