Vietnam has celebrated the 25th anniversary of its connection to the internet, and implemented a crackdown on online advertising that sees platforms like YouTube and Facebook responsible for the content that drives their ad revenue.<\/p>\n

Deputy minister of Information and Communications Pham Duc Long lauded<\/a> the internet as a “crucial part of infrastructure” and the “backbone of digital transformation” at an event in Hanoi late last week.<\/p>\n

The ministry said over 70 percent of the country’s population use the internet daily and broadband infrastructure covers a whopping 99.73 percent of hamlets and villages. Vietnam, population 98.17 million, also boasts 94.2 million smartphone users and 82.2 million mobile broadband subscribers. Furthermore, Vietnam ranks second in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) for the number of websites under its domestic domain extension (.vn) at 564,000.<\/p>\n
