Recently, authorities discovered Nguyen Van
Nghiem (born in 1963, living in Phuong Lam ward of Hoa Binh city) opening,
managing, and using many accounts on social media to post and share articles
and videos showing his personal viewpoints. They included 31 videos that
distorted and defamed the people’s administration, which stirred public concern
with anti-State purposes.
Meanwhile, Can Thi Theu and her sons, Trinh Ba
Tu (residing in Ngoc Luong commune of Yen Thuy district with her) and Trinh Ba
Phuong (residing in Hanoi’s Ha Dong district) used their personal Facebook
accounts to post many videos distorting and defaming the people’s
administration and disseminating fabrications.
Talking about this issue, Hoang Manh Cuong,
Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Information and Communications,
said information on the internet, especially social networks, are huge, easy to
access, and updated quickly. However, real information is currently mixed with
fake and unverified one, much of which incites internet users to engage in
violence and drives a wedge into the national solidarity.
Preliminary statistics show that there are more
than 150,000 social network accounts in Hoa Binh province at present, mostly on
Facebook, Zalo, and Youtube. Among them, many published posts about political
and social issues that included negative personal viewpoints and comments
running counter to the Party and State’s polices and laws. They also posted
video clips distorting and defaming leaders and the Party’s reform policy. A
number of such internet users have been detected, warned, and dealt with by
authorities.
Cuong noted to prevent the abuse of cyberspace
against the Party and State, the Department of Information and Communications
has advised the provincial People’s Committee about many counter-measures,
which have initially resulted in encouraging outcomes. In particular, it has
proposed the issuance of documents on managing, controlling, and orienting
information on social networks, managed the use of internet services and online
information, issued an implementation plan for a project on enhancing the
cybercrime combat, applied IT solutions to discover fake and hazardous
information, and carried out a project on the pilot establishment of an
integrated operations centre.
He added that all-level authorities, sectors,
media agencies, and the entire political system need to push ahead with
communications to raise public awareness of the Party and State’s policies and
laws on cybersecurity; strongly fight against the abuse of the internet, social
networks, and others on the internet to spread fake news or break laws; and
increase writings that disseminate information about positive and humane
deeds./.
