Vietnam has mandated the removal of “false” content from social media platforms within 24 hours, as opposed to the initial 48 hours, as the ruling communist party intensifies its crackdown on “anti-state” activity.

Vietnam’s Information and Communications Minister, Nguyen Manh Hung, said in parliament on Friday that the move was necessary because false news can be spread widely “if it is handled in a slow manner.”
