Following recent events surrounding a Threads account allegedly belonging to Hoàng Công Gia Khánh, the Rector of the University of Economics and Law (Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City), numerous university presidents and business leaders in Vietnam are publicly stating they will not use the platform. The account, named 'hoang_conggiakhanh', sparked debate and concern. This move follows a similar decision by Trần Hoàng Ngân, prompting a wider discussion about the platform's use among prominent figures. The rejections signal potential reputational risks associated with the social media application in Vietnam. This trend suggests growing caution among leaders regarding their online presence on Threads. Further developments are anticipated as more individuals respond to the unfolding situation regarding the Ho Chi Minh City-based university official.
