The article discusses a new internet law in Vietnam that has come into effect, aiming to regulate online content more stringently. This law requires social media companies to remove content deemed "false" or "offensive" within 24 hours of being notified by authorities. It also mandates that these platforms must establish a local office in Vietnam, store Vietnamese users' data within the country, and disclose user information when requested by the government. Critics argue that this legislation could significantly curb freedom of speech and privacy, potentially stifling online dissent and increasing government surveillance. The law reflects a broader trend of internet censorship in Vietnam, where the government has been tightening control over cyberspace to manage political opposition and maintain social order.
