968, urging the appropriate House panel to probe the alleged “breach” on Facebook that “may have compromised the safety and private data of its users. ADVERTISEMENT“Yesterday, I filed proposed House Resolution No. 968 calling for an inquiry in aid of legislation into the proliferation of Facebook clone accounts which may subject persons to fraud, identity theft, breach of privacy, harassment and other unlawful activities,” the lawmaker said in a Twitter post. Such breach on the social media platform opens its users, particularly the young, to exploitations like cybercrime, such as online bullying, harassment, identity theft, violation of privacy among others, Biazon said. He further noted that under the present circumstances brought about by the pandemic, social media platforms are also being used for official business transactions.
