Vietnam is considering a ban on individuals under the age of 16 from independently creating social media accounts. The proposed regulation would require parental or guardian consent and oversight for account creation. Social media platforms would also be obligated to implement stronger technical measures to safeguard children online. This initiative aims to address increasing concerns about the potential risks children face in the digital environment, including exposure to harmful content and online predators. Authorities believe parental supervision is crucial for ensuring a safe online experience for minors. The move reflects a growing global trend towards stricter regulations concerning children’s access to and use of social media. Details of enforcement mechanisms are still under discussion.
