Mr. Duong Khac Mai - Deputy Head of the National Assembly Delegation of Lam Dong Province - said that he had requested the police to investigate the incident.
TikTok account used the image of Mr. Duong Khac Mai speaking at the National Assembly hall to combine with the words "Shocked proposal: Husband or wife who drinks after 8pm can be severely punished, the expected fine is up to 30 million VND".
This content has attracted tens of thousands of interactions, more than 9,000 comments and more than 3,600 other TikTok accounts.
images cut with untrue content are very dangerous, affecting the reputation of the individual who is taking advantage of the image as well as the agency or organization where they are working.
Mr. Duong Khac Mai was "asked" for such "silly" statements, the online community shared and spread them, people misunderstood the problem, affecting not only Mr. Mai personally.
In a similar incident, on August 30, the website of My Tho Diocese issued a notice to the My Tho Monk's Court regarding the information about the forged speech of Amorite monk Nguyen Van Kham spread online, the content was related to other monks.
Venerable Nguyen Van Kham affirmed that he did not know what Youtubers did and aimed for. He said: "Although people take my image, my voice... it's not my speech. I have never spoken about the above characters.
Those Youtubers can cause misunderstandings and division in the Church, including division between religions. Therefore, I feel the need to publicly tell the parishioners and brothers in the Diocese: those Youtubers are not my statements."
The content that incites conflict between monks and religious divisions being posted on social networks is very dangerous.
More dangerously, many people unintentionally or intentionally share information about National Assembly delegate Duong Khac Mai and Venerable Nguyen Van Kham, causing panic in public opinion and the Catholic Church.
Currently, there are many people attacking individuals and organizations by using techniques and technology to transform and enhance images and then posting them on social networks, creating bad public opinion.
Some people do it for the purpose of deliberately affecting the victim's personal reputation, sometimes just for the purpose of attracting views and likes.
Social media users should be careful, if they rush to share false information, it will unintentionally harm others.
Be a smart and civilized social media player.
