On 9 November 2024, the Vietnamese Government adopted Decree 147/2024/ND-CP on the management, provision and use of internet services and online information. The Decree requires platforms to remove illegal content within 24 hours and submit annual reports. Non-compliance with the provisions of the Decree leads to penalties, including account disablement. The Decree also applies to gaming providers, limiting playtime for users under 18 to combat addiction.
