NPC asks Jollibee, Viber to explain Christmas campaign

THE National Privacy Commission (NPC) asked Jollibee Foods Corp. (JFC) and Viber for explanations on the Christmas campaign after user complaints.

In a statement on Tuesday, the NPC said it noted media reports and user backlash against JFC’s Christmas campaign as branded marketing materials, such as automated greetings and digital stickers, appeared in private Viber chats when triggered by certain words like Merry Christmas and holiday, among others.

This prompted concerns about “boundaries of digital marketing” and the “unsolicited processing of personal data.”

The commission said it is assessing if the campaign violated the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA).

“If the campaign involves the processing of personal data, PICs (personal information controllers) must ensure adherence to the principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality,” the commission said.

“In such cases, consent must be specific and freely given, and data subjects must be afforded the right to object to the processing of their information for direct marketing purposes,” it added.

Under the DPA, PICs must ensure that processing personal data for direct marketing adheres to the key principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality.

JFC did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno

What Is Jawboning? Jimmy Kimmel Suspension Sparks Legal Concerns About Trump Administration

What Is Jawboning? Jimmy Kimmel Suspension Sparks Legal Concerns About Trump Administration

The post What Is Jawboning? Jimmy Kimmel Suspension Sparks Legal Concerns About Trump Administration appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Legal experts have raised concerns that ABC’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live” from its airwaves following the host’s controversial comments about the death of Charlie Kirk, could be because the Trump administration violated free speech protections through a practice known as “jawboning.” Jimmy Kimmel speaks at Disney’s Advertising Upfront on May 13 in New York City. Disney via Getty Images Key Facts Disney-owned ABC announced Wednesday Kimmel’s show will be taken off the air “indefinitely,” which came after ABC affiliate owner Nexstar—which needs Federal Communications Commission approval to complete a planned acquisition of competitor Tegna Inc.—said it would not air the program due to Kimmel’s comments Monday regarding Kirk’s death and the reaction to it. The sudden move drew particular concern because it came only hours after FCC head Brendan Carr called for ABC to “take action” against Kimmel, and cryptically suggested his agency could take action saying, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.” While ABC and Nexstar have not given any indication their decisions were influenced by Carr’s comments, the timing raised concerns among legal experts that the Trump administration’s threats may have unlawfully coerced ABC and Nexstar to punish Kimmel, which could constitute jawboning. Jawboning refers to “the use of official speech to inappropriately compel private action,” as defined by the Cato Institute, as governments or public officials—who cannot directly punish private actors for speech they don’t like—can use strongman tactics to try and indirectly silence critics or influence private companies’ actions. The practice is fairly loosely defined and there aren’t many legal safeguards dictating how violations of it are enforced, the Knight First Amendment Institute notes, but the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled it can be unlawful and an impermissible First Amendment violation when it involves specific threats.
