[Advocacy Advisors] Tagalog Wikipedia considering protest against the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012

[John Vandenberg]

There was a proposal for this blackout to occur on English Wikipedia for
readers the Philippines.  Did that get closed?

Tagalog only accounts for 3.7% of readership from the Philippines.

Are other websites blacking out in the Philippines?

Hello,

The Tagalog Wikipedia community is considering a blackout in protest of
the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. Here is an English translation of
the notice:

NOTE: Please encourage all the community to join Wikipediang Tagalog talk
about the proposed pagsasansala (blackout) of Wikipediang Tagalog against
Republic Act No. 10175, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. Please
participate in the ongoing conversation in the Cafe. Thank you.
