Vietnam Joins Global Social Media Crackdown, Plans Ban On Under-16s Posting Online

Vietnam is proposing new restrictions for social media use, specifically banning users under 16 from posting online. This move follows a global trend of social media crackdowns, mirroring strict measures already implemented by Australia and France, where children under 15 face similar bans. The proposal aims to limit the online activity of minors, aligning Vietnam with other nations seeking tighter control over how young people interact with digital platforms and social media networks.
