Limiting gaming time for people under 18 years old Decree 147/ND-CP/2024 issued by the Government has many new regulations, in which people under 18 years old are not allowed to play a game for more than 60 minutes/day.

Publishers must have warning information that "playing more than 180 minutes a day will have a negative impact on health", this information must be displayed in an easily recognizable location on the game's forum and on the device screen at a frequency of 30/time during the game. Penalties will be increased for those who spread fake news on social networks. At the question and answer session before National Assembly deputies on November 12, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said that there are currently regulations on fines of 5-10 million VND for the act of taking advantage of social networks to "expose", defame each other and spread false information.

"This fine in Vietnam is high, but compared to other countries it is still low. In the near future, the fine for these acts will have to be increased," said the Minister. The Minister said that currently, only social network users who speak ill of others are fined, while the responsibility of network operators and social networks is still unclear. "Other countries impose very heavy fines, even up to millions of USD. They stipulate the responsibility of network operators and social networks, and even social network owners may have to go to jail under Singaporean law," the Minister cited and said that in the near future, regulations on how to handle network operators will be calculated. Superstitious behavior on social networks can be criminally prosecuted At the question-and-answer session with the Minister of Information and Communications (MIC) held on the morning of November 12, delegate Chau Quynh Dao (Kien Giang) asked about solutions to completely handle the problem of superstition in cyberspace. Minister Nguyen Manh Hung said that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism needs to intervene to determine the behavior. When it is necessary to identify or prevent, it will coordinate with the Ministry of Information and Communications, and the Ministry will handle this issue very quickly. The development of social networks also causes superstitious activities to increase (Screenshot). According to Minister Hung, when there are criteria for what is superstitious, the authorities will develop tools that can evaluate behavior by looking at images, then report to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for handling. The Ministry of Information and Communications is also working with social networks, requiring social networking platforms to develop tools to self-scan and when superstitious content is detected, take it down.
