A VIR source revealed that the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) is requiring press agencies to calculate the alleged damage caused by social media as an impetus for new regulations.
The inquiry is part of what could be a butterfly effect that stemmed from the fierce copyright and sharing discussions between Facebook, Google, and the Australian administration a few weeks ago, which has been moving Vietnamese lawmakers to consider the issue as well, as reported by VIR last week.
Truong Tri Vinh, former CEO of the Manager Magazine assessed the move is the ministryâs big step in proactively protecting the rights and benefits of Vietnamese journalism.
