Taking advantage of cyberspace, hostile forces promote activities against the Vietnamese revolution. The activities of anti-sabotage organizations with guiding principles are organized quite strictly and methodically. Their constant goal is to propagate against sabotage, entice calls for gatherings, demonstrations, riots, disrupt public order, and carry out a "peaceful evolution" plot to sabotage the stability of land development. water. Most reactionary organizations build social network accounts to organize a system of anti-sabotage media channels.
According to statistics from the authorities, on average each month there are tens of thousands of articles and videos on the internet and social networks with content related to Vietnam, of which a large proportion of articles and videos have content related to Vietnam. distort and sabotage our country's revolution (about 67% of articles are distributed on the social network Facebook, the rest are distributed on social network channels Youtube, personal blogs or reactionary news channels).
Through the actual situation in the country, we can see the sabotage plots of hostile, reactionary, and opportunistic forces. politic Cyberspace basically still focuses on a number of contents, such as: Distorting and destroying the ideological foundation, distorting the Party's guidelines and State policies; causing internal conflicts, attacking, defaming and discrediting our senior leaders Party, The State, through social media, calls for and incites protests, causing insecurity, social order and safety. Inciting sabotage activities by opponents who criticize Vietnam for violating democracy, human rights and "Internet freedom", encouraging these objects to resist more fiercely by awarding awards and nominations. honor or put Vietnam on the list of "enemies of the Internet", violating freedom, democracy, and human rights.
To carry out the above sinister plot, reactionary and hostile subjects often use tricks: Using social network accounts with large interactions or organizing media campaigns to spread information. Posting documents, information, and comments to mislead public opinion; citing information from the official press, mixing real and fake information, distorting the political situation in the country. Build multiple information channels on interconnected cross-border platforms; Especially develop communication channels in ethnic minority languages (Hong, Khmer...) targeting propaganda audiences who are ethnic minorities.
Promoting subversive thoughts and prejudices of some people with signs of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation"; Distribute and headline the articles of these subjects on the Internet and social networks. Taking advantage of the personal interests of a part of the people in solving land issues, economic cases... to incite and entice people to participate in disruptive activities and political insecurity on social networks. society, thereby spreading and realizing on the ground... Using the "information gap" to attack the public's curiosity; Before there is a conclusion from a competent authority, massively disseminating news stories that distort and distort the truth, directing public opinion through "sensational" and "clickbait" headlines.
Attract and entice people into the organization; Penetrate into forums and social networks for young people to discover and attract leads; Use forms of online communication to connect, train and direct the reactionary base on the ground. Using social media to deceive and manipulate people, forming and publicizing organizations disguised as civil society organizations or social criticism organizations.
Along with that, they take advantage of political, economic, military events... in the world (Russia-Ukraine military conflict, military coup in Niger...), important political events of the country, Economic cases, activities to assert sovereignty over islands, borders, etc., cite sources of information from the official press, mixing real and fake information; distorted the political, social, and economic situation in the country and at times organized anti-sabotage propaganda activities into "campaigns" in many forms.
Taking advantage of limitations and inadequacies in content censorship management on social networking platforms to propagate distortions; Taking advantage of social network policies, establishing thousands of reactionary political organizations, including public and secret groups with a large number of participating members, attracting, attracting, and inviting Welcome participating members, activities have specific directions, principles, and goals. Creating fake websites and social network accounts impersonating state agencies, leaders, influential individuals... to post reactionary information; distorting, taking advantage of people's curiosity and ignorance of a part of the people to incite the online community to participate in spreading bad information.
In the face of increasingly complex developments in cyberspace along with organized sabotage activities, sophisticated and cunning planning and construction by hostile forces, reactionary and oppositional subjects, , political opportunities, in our opinion we need to implement the following solution issues:
First, using official information plays a leading role in shaping public opinion. Departments and organizations from the central to local levels, and press agencies need to promote their role in providing timely and accurate official information, avoiding creating an information gap for reactionary subjects. taking advantage of spreading distorted information, so that people of all classes can have access to official information before accessing reactionary information. The system of communication channels at all levels from central to local levels needs to be built synchronously, with close links between communication channels to create a great influence on public opinion.
Second, improve the effectiveness of coordination and synergy. Close coordination and synergy between forces inside and outside the Army has strengths in fighting against wrong views in cyberspace and in the press, in which the forces of Ministry of Information and Communications preside over proposals to build and improve a legal system with a coordination mechanism between competent authorities and social network service providers, require compliance with Vietnamese law, and cooperate in removing remove negative information and malicious information that affects the strategic task of building and protecting the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland; coordinate with the Ministry of National Defense, Police providing information exchange, resolutely fighting and strictly handling those who take advantage of the Internet and social networks to organize activities to spread fake news and false information that are harmful to sovereignty, territory, and interests. national and ethnic interests.
Third, research and develop the application of information technology in fighting activities. Build and effectively exploit information technology research focuses in each field, from there have plans to deploy communication tasks, fight against bad information to ensure methodicalness and integrity. accurate, effective. Continue to research solutions and apply the power of science and information technology to enhance the ability to track, grasp and monitor the situation; Support for management and quality assessment of forms of struggle. Research, create content, build an information database system to serve the eradication of fake news, false and malicious information.
Build a system of synchronous direction and management channels from command to implementation level, and communication channels between forces participating in the struggle. The system allows operators to organize tasks to destroy fake news, false and malicious information on the Internet and social networks, and is also a channel for implementing officers to share experiences on how to organize and deal with them. bad information. Equip the fighting forces with modern systems to monitor and detect information and promptly detect distorted information before it is spread to many social network accounts reaching a large number of online communities.
Fourth, raise awareness and the role of officials, party members and the public in exploiting and using the Internet and social networks. Cadres, party members, civil servants, and public employees, especially key officials at all levels, heads of localities, agencies, and units, further enhance awareness, roles, responsibilities, pioneers, and role models. Set an example in exploiting and using the Internet and social networks. Promoting the effectiveness and practicality of using social networks to propagate and mobilize people to well implement the Party's guidelines, policies and laws of the State, transmit and replicate positive factors , typical example, good people, good deeds, humane cultural values, spirit of solidarity and love of the nation and people. At the same time, actively fight against false, reactionary and fabricated information on social networks, criticize and oppose acts of taking advantage of the Internet and social networks to share, inform, comment and post. uploading offensive images, lacking a sense of responsibility, indifferent, and insensitive to the difficulties and losses of the people.
