Comelec running after online troll farms

The Philippine Star

|

October 23, 2024

Aside from TikTok, candidates in the coming May 2025 elections can also no longer employ troll farms to boost their candidacy.

- By MAYEN JAYMALIN

Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman George Garcia said they would run after troll farms operated by candidates during the campaign.

Garcia said the different social media platforms have expressed support for the Comelec's efforts to get rid of troll farms.

"When we trace the troll farms we will coordinate with the National Bureau of Investigation and Philippine National Police in order to immediately stop the persons involved," Garcia said in Filipino in a radio interview yesterday.

The poll chief assured the public that Comelec will take action against trolls, unless prevented by the court from doing so.
