(NADS) - The Government has issued Decree 147/2024/ND-CP on management, provision and use of the Internet and online information (Decree 147), effective from December 25, 2024.
Accordingly, foreign organizations, businesses and individuals providing cross-border information to Vietnam using data storage rental services in Vietnam or having a total number of regular visits from Vietnam in 1 month (average statistics over 6 consecutive months) of 100,000 or more, will be subject to certain responsibilities.
Specifically, cross-border information providers must authenticate social network users' accounts using mobile phone numbers in Vietnam.
In case the user confirms that he/she does not have a mobile phone number in Vietnam, the account must be authenticated with a personal identification number according to regulations.
In case social network users use the livestream feature for commercial purposes, foreign organizations, businesses, and individuals providing social network services must authenticate their accounts using personal identification numbers.
The Decree also specifies that only verified accounts are allowed to post information (write articles, comment, livestream) and share information on social networks.
Within 90 days from the effective date of the decree, foreign organizations, enterprises and individuals providing cross-border information to Vietnam and domestic organizations and enterprises providing social networking services must authenticate active accounts of social networking service users.
However, according to some tests with accounts that have not been verified by phone number, posting still occurs normally. The reason is that the Decree mentions the issue of creating conditions for preparation time for the platforms.
