According to this latest Reuters report, Vietnam will soon make identity verification mandatory for social media users of all platforms including foreign and local.
The official narrative of the state media is that they are doing it to "rein in online scams".
The measure, part of the Telecommunications Law Amendment to be issued by the end of this year, will enable law enforcement agencies to track down offenders using social media to break the law, state-run Voice of Vietnam (VOV) newspaper reported.
"Unverified accounts, no matter on local or foreign platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, will be dealt with."
