Thanks to that, the rate of blocking and removing illegal content has increased significantly.

The Ministry has coordinated with relevant ministries and branches to provide timely information to the press and develop coordination regulations to prevent and handle illegal content. The viewpoint "as the real world is, so is cyberspace" is thoroughly applied.

Issue a handbook and code of conduct on social media. The Code of Conduct aims to establish ethical standards on social media, while the anti-fake news handbook provides skills to identify and handle misinformation. Various communication activities such as articles, clips, and infographics have been widely deployed.

In the coming time, the Ministry of Information and Communications will continue to implement solutions to improve the effectiveness of cyberspace management, including: Strengthening inter-sectoral coordination.
