Chinese media describe these materialistic contents as a "toxic influence".
Accordingly, accounts that show off their possessions, money, wealth... are banned for "violating community standards".
Showing off is not easy to prohibit.
Ms. Ngo Minh Trang, director of Vietnet Information and Communication Technology Center (Vietnet-ICT), said that filtering bad and toxic content is necessary for any network platform.
"That helps build a more civilized and safer online community. Young people will have a healthier online environment to develop," Ms. Trang shared.
Sharing the same view, Dr. Dang Vu Canh Linh - Director of the Vietnam Youth Research Institute - commented that in the context of complex social networks like today, purification is a great need, not only for managers but also for the community.
Because everyone wants to enter the online world with a happy, comfortable, and positive mindset.
According to Mr. Linh, not only China, but many countries want to purify negative, bad, and toxic content for users, including showing off money, gold, and wealth online in the direction of worshiping materialism.
"However, the most difficult thing is how to do it. To do it, you have to research very carefully," Mr. Linh added.

What is a community standards violation?
Ms. Ngo Minh Trang pointed out that "the biggest challenge is still a set of criteria for standardization".
However, "what is excessive ostentation, negative influence?; what is showing off in a civilized, moderate way?", Ms. Trang raised the question.
"It's very difficult to judge, the line is quite fragile" and "it's not a 1 + 1 = 2 thing," she said.

As for Dr. Dang Vu Canh Linh, if we give criteria for violating community standards, we must answer what is that measure of community values?
What specific content, areas and criteria does it include?
Like Ms. Trang, the representative of the Vietnam Youth Research Institute said that the line between violation and non-violation is relatively fragile.
"Sometimes a clip is posted, limited to a few of their friends, that clip does not violate the law, but through information discussion, when it is widely known by society, it becomes a violating clip," Mr. Linh explained.
Accordingly, the purge needs to be carefully researched. Building a strong toolkit requires both transparency and community support.
If it is content that violates national sovereignty, traditional culture, etc., it is often supported by public opinion. As for clips like this, we need to discuss further, discuss carefully.
Mr. Dang Vu Canh Linh believes that deleting an account (also known as "freezing") is the most drastic measure, but it is not necessarily a good solution. Because by deleting this account, people can create another account.
Therefore, the toolkit must also define different levels of violations. What kind of violation requires removal/punishment or apology to the community? It must be made very clear.
Be careful not to lose money.
Ms. Ngo Minh Trang said that showing off money, property, assets, and wealth online poses great risks and dangers to the safety of you and your family.
First, attract the attention of thieves or kidnappers of your children for ransom...
Second, filming a video showing off your possessions and posting it online will inadvertently show off your house and expensive furniture and appliances… helping criminals understand every corner of your house, leading to faster theft and easier escape.
