Globe continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to online safety and protection, sustaining its efforts to block access to child pornography and illegal gambling sites.

 



In the first half of 2024, Globe successfully intercepted 1,718 domains and 190,167 URLs related to child pornography, a substantial rise from the 1,295 domains and 129,652 URLs blocked during the same period in 2023.


Similarly, Globe intensified its crackdown on illegal gambling sites, deactivating 2,726 domains in the first six months of 2024, compared to 1,828 in the same period the previous year.


Since the initiation of its #MakeITSafePH campaign in 2017, Globe has actively aligned its initiatives with the Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009 (Republic Act 9775), which mandates internet service providers (ISPs) to deploy technologies that prevent access to or transmission of child pornography.


"Globe is focused on creating a safer online environment for all, especially for children. Our increased efforts to restrict access to harmful content reflect our dedication to upholding the highest standards of online safety,” said Anton Bonifacio, Globe’s Chief Information Security Officer and Chief AI Officer.


Globe's commitment to this cause is further underscored by its investment of over $2.7 million in advanced content filtering systems to enhance its capabilities in detecting and blocking illegal content.


The company also collaborates closely with various organizations, including the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Department of Justice (DOJ), Philippine Chamber of Telecommunications Operators, and non-government organizations to bolster child protection online.


Globe's proactive measures are crucial in addressing this alarming trend,  highlighted by a study from the US-based National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which identified the Philippines as a leading source of Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) content.


The company’s initiatives are not limited to preventing access to harmful content. Through its #MakeITSafePH campaign, Globe undertakes comprehensive educational programs and awareness activities designed to empower users with the knowledge and tools needed to protect themselves online.


Globe’s endeavors aim to foster a culture of digital responsibility and ensure a safer internet experience for all Filipinos.

Globe: No unregistered SIMs in active use

Globe has been at the forefront of efforts to strictly implement and comply with the SIM Registration Act, ensuring that all SIMs currently in use are registered. Globe does not allow any customer to use an unregistered SIM. Under its current system, a new SIM is only activated once registered through Globe’s SIM registration platforms. “We designed our SIM Registration system in such a way that no SIM can be used on the network unless registered. Therefore, all active SIMs within our network are in our system. Even as we continue to enhance our SIM registration platform, we already have measures in place that defend against the illegal use of unregistered SIMs,” said Darius Delgado, Globe Vice President and Head of Consumer Mobile Business. Globe currently has 58.8 million mobile subscribers. Following the registration period from December 27, 2022 to July 30, 2023, which covered SIMs already in use before passage of the law, Globe deactivated over 30 million unregistered SIMs. Since
