Hanoi (VNA) – The Authority of Broadcasting and ElectronicInformation under the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) reported that in 2023, it had repeatedly worked with foreign serviceproviders like Meta (Facebook), Google, Apple and TikTok to prevent toxic information and fake newsfrom spreading.

Specifically, the authority required these businesses toseriously cooperate and remove contents that violate Vietnamese law and havesolutions to prevent and remove incorrect and toxic news on the platforms theyprovide.

As a result, the response rate for requeststo remove malicious information was maintained at over 90%, and the duration for handlingand blocking violating information was cut down to 3-24 hours.

All three major social networking platforms - Facebook, Google, and TikTok - have applied AI technology to automatically scan, detect,and handle violating contents as requested by the MIC.

In May 2023, the ministry coordinated with fiverelevant ministries and sectors to organise a comprehensive inspection overTikTok's operations in Vietnam. On September 29, 2023, it issued a conclusion of the inspection, identifying violations of this social network and requesting relevant agencies to strengthen management of TikTokSingapore's cross-border service provision in Vietnam.

In addition, the ministry stepped up thereception of feedback and verification of fake news by the Vietnam Anti-FakeNews Centre (VAFC), labelled fake news and published correct information in themass media. The website Tingia.gov.vn promptly identified a lot of fake and untruenews and prevented them from spreading.

In addition, the website also coordinated toblock and remove more than 800 gambling links, handled a large volume of reactionary andmalicious information, and carried articles warning about large-scale fraud andfalsehoods.
