On the afternoon of November 24, in Quang Ninh, the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) held a training conference on information and propaganda work of the Ministry of Information and Communications in 2023.
Speaking at the conference, Mr. Hoang Anh Van - Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information, Ministry of Information and Communications said that cross-border platforms are the places that spread the most bad and toxic information, opposing the Party and the State. Therefore, to manage cyberspace well, we must fight to force social networking platforms to comply with Vietnamese laws.
To do this, the Ministry of Information and Communications has synchronously deployed legal, media, economic and technical solutions.
Accordingly, these activities include forcing cross-border platforms to comply with Vietnamese law, removing bad, toxic, false, negative information that has a negative impact on society. This is truly a difficult and complicated task because there is no precedent and no regulations to enforce.
As a result of the content struggle, if before 2017, cross-border platforms hardly cooperated, then in 2018-2019, they started to cooperate and from 2020 to now, they have carried out requests to block and remove accounts and channels with a response rate of up to over 90%.
