In an interview with the voice of Vietnam, cited by VNA, Minister of the Public Security To Lam said that the Ministry focused its efforts on handling thousands of cases of fraudulent and fake news on the internet.

To do this the ministry has co-operated with media agencies, both Vietnamese and foreign networks, to take down fake news and impose serious fines for those responsible. For serious cases, they have been handled criminally. And more recently, the Government has issued a decree to allow administrative sanctions on any agency which releases fake news or stories to the public. However, these measures are still not strong enough to stop the problem.
