Felix reached a maximum of speed of 1,342.8 km/h (833mph) through the near vacuum of the stratosphere before being slowed by the atmosphere later during his </span>4:20<span style="line-height: 20px;"> minute long freefall.

Joe Kittinger.</span></span><br />

Also, it also allows the authorities to collect data from a personal user accounts on soial media and listen in voice/video application such as skype, even without a warrant.<br>
<br>
Old Blog ,Social Media Post that violates the new law can still be charged of libel. By keeping it today, meaning you still publishing it now.Time to review your facebook, Twitter and blogs if you don't want to go in jail for 12 years.<br>
<br>
It Allows the Supreme Court to block or restrict order against websites and systems that violates the law. File Sharing sites, Torrents  and download sites could be gone, when someone file complained against this websites.<br>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">The Cybercrime Prevention Act technically takes effect on October 3, or after 15 days it was published in the papers and on the Official Gazette on September 18. The President signed the law on September 12.</span><br>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The last time I checked, We were still a democracy. We Want empowered citizens, Not Scared and passive Ones." Sen. Guingona said</blockquote>
Lacierda said Freedom Expression is always recognized but Freedom of expression is not absolute.<br>
<br>
We see other nations fight for freedom against <a href="http://www.tdtrend.com/2012/01/what-is-sopa-stop-online-piracy-act.html">Stop Online Piracy Act(SOPA)</a> and the Protect IP ACT (PIPA), and what we are facing now is can be far worse than that.
