Vietnam's information minister said on Friday authorities had tightened regulations to deal with 'false' content on social media platforms so that it must be taken down within 24 hours instead of 48 hours previously.

The new rules will enshrine Vietnam's position as one of the world's most stringently controlled regimes for social media firms and will strengthen the ruling Communist Party's hand as it cracks down on "anti-state" activity. Most governments do not have laws imposing the taking down of content on social media firms, but Vietnam's move comes amid intensifying crackdowns in some parts of the world on online content.
"The ministry will propose to the government an increase in administrative fines to a level that is high enough to deter the public," he said.
