People's Artist Xuan Bac: Many people become victims of cyber attacks

'I strongly support the idea of ​​encouraging social media users to register with their real names and real information, to minimize the number of fake accounts that spread false rumors, insult or attack others. Many people have become victims of cyber attacks.'

This was shared by People's Artist Xuan Bac, Director of the Department of Performing Arts, at the Workshop to collect opinions on the draft Code of Conduct for Culture on Cyberspace organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on October 22.

Minimize the creation of fake accounts that are only used to spread false rumors.

As both an artist and a manager and a KOLS on social networks, People's Artist Xuan Bac, Director of the Department of Performing Arts (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism), believes that the development of a Code of Conduct for Culture on Cyberspace is very accurate, correct and very necessary, especially in the current period when activities on cyberspace are exploding.

One of the issues that People's Artist Xuan Bac mentioned was the regulations on service and content providers. According to him, there are currently many large, reputable media companies, but there are sub-channels that provide inappropriate content, with offensive and misleading titles.

"Not only does it negatively impact viewers, but it also intentionally causes misunderstandings through provocative titles. I think there needs to be stricter regulations and clearer responsibilities for content providers," Mr. Bac said.

In the context of the social media explosion, People's Artist Xuan Bac commented that now anyone can be a director, actor, or editor on the internet. Since TikTok appeared in Vietnam, it has created a huge impact, spread quickly, and had many positive impacts. However, in some aspects, we still miss issues that need to be controlled.

Regarding the management of virtual accounts, the Director of the Department of Performing Arts expressed: "I strongly support the encouragement of social network users to register with real names, real people, real information, to minimize virtual accounts that specialize in spreading false rumors, insulting or attacking others. In addition, there should be requirements to minimize virtual accounts created only to spread false rumors, insulting or attacking others."

With this code of conduct, Mr. Xuan Bac wants to emphasize the cultural element. I think the keyword "civilized behavior" means we must be cultured in our behavior.

Building a healthy and civilized network environment

Speaking at the workshop, Permanent Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Le Hai Binh acknowledged that social networks, with their benefits, have a profound impact on social life and on each individual. However, the online environment also poses many challenges, including the increase of deviant and anti-cultural behaviors on social networks, which are negatively affecting the formation of personality, ethics and lifestyle of adolescents, causing many parents to worry.

"The impact of cyberspace leaves a very long-lasting story. How our future generations become has a very important part in the impact of cyberspace. In real space we have laws, there are ethical standards, but in cyberspace the law is being built to some extent, but standards seem to be non-existent."

Therefore, according to Mr. Binh, the promulgation of the Code of Conduct for Cultural Conduct in Cyberspace will be an important tool contributing to the formation of a healthy and civilized cyber environment - where good and humane values ​​are widely spread.

According to Deputy Director of the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information Nguyen Thi Thanh Huyen, as of January 2024, Vietnam has 78.44 million internet users, equivalent to 79.1% of the population, with an average usage time of nearly 7 hours per day, most of whom access via mobile devices.

Currently, Vietnam has about 78 million social network accounts, but mainly accounts on foreign social network platforms provided to Vietnam such as Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. According to statistical reports at the time of January 2025, the total number of regularly used user accounts of the top 20 largest social networks in the country is about 110 million, Facebook and YouTube are 138.5 million.

Besides fake news and misinformation, the situation of fraud in cyberspace in Vietnam is becoming more and more complicated and alarming. Along with that, inappropriate language in cyberspace is becoming more and more common.

"The development and promulgation of a Code of Conduct for Cultural Conduct in Cyberspace is extremely necessary. The Code will be a tool to guide behavior, create positive habits, ensure the healthy development of cyberspace, contribute to preserving national cultural identity, and build Vietnamese people in the new era," Ms. Huyen shared.
