Here goes. Warning, long post / reply ahead:
Thank you very much for the insights.
please don't file pleadings created by AI without reviewing the contents --> I actually read it, thrice, and like I mentioned on another comment, it really sounded good on my ear.
May I please know what are several errors on the 1st page so that I could improve it in the future?
as DTI does not have jurisdiction over reddit --> If DTI does not have jurisdiction over Reddit, then what government agency should I go to if ever I have a complaint against Reddit (or any social media platform) in the future?
Probably the better forum is agencies who handle communications technology. --> Are you referring to the DICT? Because I already went that route. If you're referring to the NPC, I have already composed (assisted by AI) my complaint to them if in case this is dismissed by the CA. I think I cannot filed two complaints at the same time on two different agencies since that will be Forum Shopping, sort of.
and if I were under the DTI, I will find your pleading amusing at best. --> Oh, I can take that.
Several people on Reddit find it amusing that a Filipino consumer is suing them Reddit in spite of being "free access" and in spite of having a subscription that was not purchased by me -- a Reddit Admin did. I was name-called and insulted to the roof, so the DTI find my appeal amusing, is a tap on the hand.
Fourth, we go through the process. European countries enforce the GDPR, which is a double-edged sword for data protection.--> Agree. [Edit: and I am following the PH Law process, to file a complaint if I feel that my right is abused]. And India has their own version. In fact, India had their separate Reddit Page wherein they can file a complaint that will be handled by a local, Grievance Officer. It was due to India's IT Law. [Edit: Reddit followed what India Law dictates]
I want the exact thing for the Philippines.
They are free to cancel our account (generally). --> Well, my main account is already banned anyway. So, what's there to lose by filing a complaint? At least, I'm happy that I fulfilled my promise to that Reddit Admin, to do everything in my power, to bring justice to what Reddit did.
I posted a separate thread explaining why even an online account is valuable to ME. I am not the majority of Filipinos, that if an account is banned, will just create a new one as if "they're replacing a tissue".
I've been posting this case since last year, and you are the FIRST REDDITOR who said that he's a LAWYER. For that, I thank you so much.
But it's already set in motion... so I might as well see the ending.
[Edit: ang dami nga dyang lawyers dine-defend pa rin kahit mga heinous criminals. Sa case ko, wala naman akong ginawang krimen]
Another one:
I don't know if you have seen my posts last year.
The moment I realized that there 's a loophole in the ITA of 2023, I have been emailing senators about it. Every few months to follow-up.
While I began that over a year ago, I also took the route of filing a complaint. The office of Sen Jinggoy Estrada through an attorney staff, made a recommendation letter to the DICT. DICT referred me to CICC, who managed to get in touch with Reddit.
So I took another route... Consumer Welfare of DTI, then they scheduled 2 MS Teams meeting with Reddit, no show. Then gave me a Certificate to File Action to DTI FTEB. Dismissed, then appealed to DTI Secretary, dissmissed. Now the Motion just filed today.
The reason why I am doing this route with the DTI (aside from waiting for a reply from the other senators, is to kill time). Also, if ever the case got dismissed by the CA (which I believe they will be, because the ITA of 2023 was written so poorly, that they never mentioned how to implement it for social media platforms who conducts business in the PH w/out an office or legal rep.
When the IRR was being drafted, only Shopee and Lazada attended -- no foreign social media platform was present -- because (I think) they have NO IDEA that business is being conducted on social media in the form of Reddit Premium Subscription, Gold, advertisement targeting PH market, etc.
I know that Reddit and other social media companies CAN have a legal representative or even an office because, as I stated on another post, Reddit Philippines was able to conduct quarterly moderator workshops in a art gallery, just to promote Reddit among Filipinos, to increase traffic to the site by creating new subs. More Filipinos on new subs = more traffic for Reddit, thus more revenue.
That is why I am dismissing claims that Reddit will not bother having such, because they can't afford it. That is a "propaganda".
End game: I will use the decision of the CA to strengthen my claim that the ITA was INDEED written poorly, so that when I email the senators AGAIN, i have more proof that it's not being implemented AS IT SHOULD.
Filipinos DESERVE a local representative in the country to handle complaints because of CULTURE. As Filipinos, we have a strong idea for DUE PROCESS. Unlike in the US that they can fire someone on the spot, you cannot do it here.
My point to Reddit is, hire someone locally to handle complaints, unfair bans, for easier communication (no snail mail needed) and for understanding the Filipino culture, how social media is used.
This is similar in concept the what is happening to Facebook accounts being banned (Meta wave bans if you heard it) simply because of CHILD PICTURES. Reddit, being a US company, thought that Filipinos are somehow doing CHILD ABUSE by posting pictures of their child. I am a member of Meta wave bans, and the common denominator why their accounts were BANNED incorrectly (also true with IG) is because of harmless child pictures. Again, because the one handing the complaints and requests for unbans are either (as they suspect) AI or have no idea, that in the Philippines, uploading harmless child pictures is HARMLESS to most.
So my complaint is about Reddit (and other social media) banning Filipino accounts without knowing the culture. This was agreed by the Reddit Admin (employee of Redding remotely working in the Philippines) when he said, that I should not have been banned for something that was NOT explain to me in details.
I hope it gives more details on what I believe is right.
[Edit: if you want, get a SS on the Reddit Rules that says, doing "affiliate links" for the first time, is punishable by the death by the Permaban. I have asked this to Reddit more than 3 times and I said, I will NOT question the ban, if there were proofs that I committed the act being accused of me. You, of all people, should know that I am innocent because they did not prove my guilt, beyond reasonable doubt.
Ikaw ba, papayag ka na yung 4 year old account mo na pinag-ukulan mo ng oras, bigla mo na lang hindi ma-access, tapos ang reason lang is "you broke the rules" "spamming" walang mga SS? [Edit within an edit: Or inakusahan ka ng pagnanakaw na walang CCTV footage, walang picture, tatanggapin mo lang ba yun simply because nakikigamit ka ng facility nila or bumibili ka lang sa kanila.
Ang dating kasi sa kin ng mga sinasabi ng mga tao dito sa Reddit is wala akong karapatang mag-reklamo dahil libre ang access ng Reddit. Following that logic, kung um-attend ka ng libreng seminar, tapos na-food poison ka ng LIBRENG pagkain nila, hindi ka ba magre-reklamo man lang kasi LIBRE NAMAN?
Aa-attend na na lang ba ulit ng another seminar, hoping na di ka ma-food poison dahil LIBRE NAMAN yung ipapamigay na food]
[Edit v.2.0 Another analogy. Sinama mo yung lolo mo bumili ng super high-end na laptop. Credit card ni lolo mo ginamit. Binigay sa 'yo yung resibo kung sakali mang may issue sa laptop. Syempre ikaw namili ng laptop na yun, ikaw nakaka-alam ng specs. Eh nasira, dala mo naman yung resibo (na proven authentic), tatanggapin mo ba pag sinabi ng store "Di po namin mare-repair/refund/replace yan kasi hindi nakapangalan sa inyo yung credit card na ginamit sa pagbili, therefore, hindi kayo ang owner n'yan].
Kayo nga, mga SS na, gusto pa ng Affidavit that the SS were not manipulated.]
