Degree 72, Social Media and Vietnam

The Controversal Degree 72 says social websites and blogs should not
share news and current affairs, except personal information.

From Research, Vietnam has over 30 millions internet users, which
means that the law seek to restrict the spread of information to the
rest of the World.

" With this law, Vietnam seek to cut itself out of the World"
The law has being widely criticise by many, including human right
activist, the US Government and reporters without borders- a paris
based organization.

It is an infringement on the right of Vietnamese whose fundamental
freedom are both online and offline.

Though, government official maintain that the move is to safeguard
national security, on the long run, business will start relocating
from Vietnam and can even discourage investors from investing there.
