Fine of 7.5 million VND for posting false information on Facebook

(CLO) Da Nang City authorities have just fined a girl 7.5 million VND for posting false information, causing public confusion on social networks.

On February 20, the Internal Political Security Department of Da Nang City Police summoned Ms. HKL (21 years old, residing in Lien Chieu District, Da Nang) to announce the decision to impose an administrative penalty for the act of providing false information.

Previously, on February 17, HKL posted on his personal Facebook page an article with the title "Warning corner: tonight I was drugged terribly on Vo Van Kiet Street, Da Nang".

In the article, HKL described the details according to subjective feelings, along with many arguments and inferences that caused public confusion.

The post quickly garnered a lot of attention with over 11,000 likes, 10,000 comments and 28,000 shares.

Immediately after receiving the information, Da Nang City Police began investigating. The verification results showed that the story of "being drugged" that HKL posted was completely fabricated.

Based on the records, documents and evidence collected, the police agency determined that HKL's actions violated Decree No. 15 of the Government regulating administrative sanctions in the fields of post, telecommunications, radio frequencies, information technology and electronic transactions.

The authorities decided to fine HKL 7.5 million VND for administrative violations.
