Accordingly, Google was found to loosely manage contents, not control ads on YouTube clips and Google Adsense network, allow users to buy ads directly from YouTube and Google without the involvement of domestic ads agents.

At present, Google is not applying measures to prevent the republication of violating and deleted clips as required by competent agencies. It still suggests clips with inappropriate and harmful contents which account for 0.1 percent of the total, but spread widely.

Violations were also committed by Google’s ads agents in Vietnam, YouTube ads buyers and content creators, and Google’s multi-channel network.

According to the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC), there are about 55,000 harmful and law-violating clips on YouTube, nearly 8,000 of them have been deleted as requested by the ABEI.
