Philippines cybercrime agency refers 30 influencers over illegal gambling promotions
The Philippines' Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center referred 30 influencers to the police Anti-Cybercrime Group, saying they continued promoting illegal gambling sites after earlier warnings. CICC chief Renato “Aboy” Paraiso said the agency would also seek removal of the sites featured in their posts; possible charges include offences under laws covering cybercrime, illegal gambling and fraud.
The referrals could lead to law-enforcement cases against influencers and removal requests targeting the promoted gambling sites.
