HANOI - Facebook increased the amount of content it restricted access to in Vietnam by over 500% in the last half of 2018, the U.S. social media giant said in a report released on Friday, as the Southeast Asian country ramps up its crackdown on online dissent.
Earlier this month, Amnesty International said nearly 10% of the 128 prisoners held in Vietnam for expressing dissenting views were jailed for posting anti-state comments on social media platforms such as Facebook. A restriction refers to a piece of content posted to Facebook which is not viewable in some countries because it is deemed to violate local laws.
Facebook’s Transparency Report said it had made restrictions based on reports from Vietnam’s information and security ministries.
Thats overkill!
