At the press conference, the issue of public concern was that for a long time, the Yen Bac TV YouTube channel continuously used insulting, distorted, and defaming the culture of the Southern people. With a "historical research" and "patriotic" cover, this channel often attacks historical figures who have contributed to opening up the Southern world, causing serious outrage in the online community.
Many opinions say that the channel's content is to discriminate between sophisticated regions, fiercely and even challenge the law when continuously producing stimulating videos.
Responding to this issue, a representative of the Department of Culture and Sports affirmed: The Department has been coordinating with competent authorities to review and handle violations. When the results are official, the Department will provide information to the press".
Previously, the Department of Culture and Sports also spoke up and said that false content, historical distortation, insult of famous people or regional conflict incitation are all in the group of toxic information, which need to be carefully reviewed and handled according to regulations.
The Department of Culture and Sports added that the management and handling of violations on digital platforms requires coordination between many units, including the police, the Department of Information and Communications and other specialized forces.
Recently, many cases of posting false historical content, damaging the image of the country and people of Vietnam have been punished. However, the continued existence and operation of some YouTube channels shows the need for stronger measures to prevent and handle them from the root.
The representative of the Department affirmed that Ho Chi Minh City is resolutely strengthening inspection and supervision of social networking platforms and will closely coordinate to strictly handle all violations, contributing to preserving a healthy cultural environment and protecting the historical and traditional values of the nation.
Recently, the YouTube channel Sen Bac TV and some related accounts have been strongly criticized by public opinion for posting videos with words distorting history, defaming released soldiers Le Van Duyet and Truong Vinh Ky, and using insulting language to the people of the South.
