It is known that the Ministry of Information and Communications has established a National Fake News Handling Center to handle information that harms people at the national level. This is a method that many countries in the world have also applied.

Not only stopping at the National Fake News Handling Center, according to the Minister, it is also necessary to establish fake news handling centers at a deeper level than the provincial level because now, we are moving to cyberspace for most of our life activities.

To strictly enforce the law, the Ministry of Information and Communications is also coordinating with the Ministry of Public Security to strictly handle a number of cases of cyber-violation, such as the criminal prosecution of Ms. Nguyen Phuong Hang, which will have a very high deterrent effect.

Minister Nguyen Manh Hung also emphasized the fundamental nature of the issue related to building a digital culture. “ Cyberspace is a completely new environment for us. We have lived in the real world for tens of thousands of years but it seems that there are still many problems, let alone the fact that we have only moved to cyberspace for more than 20 years.

I think it is necessary to build a culture of behavior, including integrating it into general education programs and information technology programs ," said the Minister.

According to Minister Nguyen Manh Hung, the Ministry of Information and Communications also built a platform to train basic digital skills for people to protect themselves, increase their resistance and know how to behave in the social network environment. This platform is for the whole people and has been launched for less than a year, but the number of people accessing to learn and gain skills has reached more than 20 million. This shows very good signals, especially in terms of communication to the public.

“ The story of cyberspace is new to many people and there are many evils there, or as many evils as there are. Therefore, we need to communicate to raise social awareness, to let people know about bad phenomena, violence or abuse there so that we know how to handle and avoid them ,” Minister Nguyen Manh Hung added.
