i support that act114a is not scientific because this will cause a lot of cyber crime.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't scientific, and it almost impossible to prove your innocence if this thing does happen. I mean, for example, how are you suppose to prove that a certain X person, at certain time and certain place, is at your home, in your room, touching your keyboard, logging in using your Facebook account, and spreading false fact on the net?
ReplyDeleteEven worse if that person already know your personal online information/login information, he/she could easily log into your account and sabotage you anytime and anywhere.
