The Philippines demands that Facebook curb false information and warns that legal action may be taken.

According to reports, the Philippine government has requested Facebook's parent company Meta Platforms to take measures to curb the spread of "false and panic-inducing content" on its platform, and warned that if the company does not act promptly, legal action may be taken by the Philippines. The Philippine Presidential Communications Office stated in a statement on Saturday that various harmful content spread on the internet has been identified. On April 10, the government asked the company to respond within seven days and submit a detailed corrective plan. The statement pointed out that the dissemination of such false information violates the country's criminal law and related provisions of the cyber security law, posing a threat to public order, economic stability, and national security.
