The Government of Vietnam has issued a new decree governing internet services and online information, which shall come into force on 25 December 2024. Decree No. 147\/2024\/ND-CP, promulgated on 9 November 2024, supersedes the previous Decree No. 72\/2013\/ND-CP and its amendments.<\/p>\n

This comprehensive legislation, comprising over 200 pages and 62 appended forms, addresses a wide array of internet and online topics. These include inter alia, internet services, domain names, cross-border information provision, social network services, aggregated information websites, online game services, and app store services.<\/p>\n

Key Provisions<\/h2>\n

Cross-Border Information Provision<\/h3>\n

Offshore service providers, including those offering social network and app store services on a cross-border basis, are subject to stricter requirements if they either lease data storage in Vietnam or meet a threshold of 100,000 or more total visits per month from Vietnam for six consecutive months. These providers must:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Notify the Authority of Broadcasting and Electronic Information (ABEI) of their contact information<\/li>\n
  2. Monitor and remove illegal content<\/li>\n
  3. Store and manage user data as required<\/li>\n
  4. Authenticate social network user accounts using Vietnamese mobile numbers or identification numbers<\/li>\n
  5. Submit annual and ad hoc reports to the ABEI<\/li>\n
  6. Handle user complaints<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Only cross-border providers who have notified the ABEI of their contact details may offer live stream and revenue-generating services. Non-compliance may result in blocks and penalties.<\/p>\n

    Social Networks<\/h2>\n

    Decree 147 establishes distinct regimes for offshore and onshore social network services:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Offshore providers meeting the aforementioned threshold must notify the ABEI of their contact information.<\/li>\n
    2. Onshore providers reaching 10,000 total visits per month for six consecutive months or 1,000 regular users per month must obtain a Social Network Licence.<\/li>\n
    3. Other onshore providers with low traffic must obtain a Notification Certificate from the ABEI.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The decree also regulates livestream activities by stipulating conditions for social network service providers to offer livestream functions and for social network accounts to conduct livestream activities.<\/p>\n

      Online Games<\/h2>\n

      Foreign organisations and individuals are prohibited from providing online games to service users in Vietnam on a cross-border basis. To offer such services, they must establish a local enterprise in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

      This new decree is expected to have a significant impact on both onshore and offshore service providers in the respective fields and may tighten the regulatory landscape for internet services and online information provision in Vietnam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
