LIBEL "This Court is mindful that advances in technology allow the government and kindred institutions to monitor individuals and place them under surveillance in ways that have previously been impractical or even impossible. "All the forces of a technological age x x x operate to narrow the area of privacy and facilitate intrusions into it. In modern terms, the capacity to maintain and support this enclave of private life marks the difference between a democratic and a totalitarian society." The Court must ensure that laws seeking to take advantage of these technologies be written with specificity and definiteness as to ensure respect for the rights that the Constitution guarantees. (Jose Jesus M. Disini, Jr., et.al. vs. The Secretary of Justice, et.al., G.R. 203335, etc. February 11, 2014). Resolve the given parameters of libel in so far as sharing one’s expression using technology.
