Salvahan established that while the SIM Registration Act’s current rules for implementation mandate automatic SIM deactivation after the registration deadline, the law itself is “silent” on the legality of partial deactivation within the registration period.
According to Salvahan, the commission has yet to receive an official notice from the higher court on the temporary restraining order plea. Salvahan also explained that the technical feasibility of such an incentive rests on the country’s telecommunications entities, as they would bear the responsibility of partially deactivating these services.
Partial deactivation of social media accounts has never been implemented in the Philippines, but has been tried in other countries, according to the NTC deputy commissioner. Digital Pinoys argued that limiting the social media communications access for unregistered SIM users is not part of the law itself, and should therefore be barred.
