Toxic curiosity and warnings for clicks
Recently, a serious violent incident has been spreading on social networking sites. This is extremely toxic information for society and especially for adolescents. However, it was shared rapidly by the "crazy" of many people just for the purpose of attracting views and likes.
The police have had to issue a warning, such content violates the law seriously, easily causes confusion and has unpredictable consequences if widely disseminated. People are advised to absolutely not store or share. If you accidentally receive these files and links, you should immediately delete them and report them to the authorities. At the same time, parents should note that they need to strictly manage their children's use of social networks, avoiding children from accessing harmful content. Violators may be subject to an administrative fine of VND 5 million or even criminal prosecution depending on their level. People are advised to immediately stop any operations when encountering unusual content, absolutely do not click on unverified links and proactively protect yourself as well as warn relatives to avoid risks.
This shows that in reality, there is still a fragile line between " curiosity", "wanting to show that you have information" and violating the law when sharing toxic information on social networks.
Social media participants need to be more aware of their behavior and the impact of each click on information sharing. This is also one of the goals that the set of criteria for cultural behavior in the digital environment drafted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is seeking widely opinions and preparing to issue.
At the workshop held at the end of October related to this Code, Permanent Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Le Hai Binh emphasized that cyberspace is increasingly becoming an inseparable part of modern life, bringing many values but also posing many potential challenges for managers and users. deviant behavior in the online environment is negatively affecting the ethics, personality and lifestyle of young people, causing many parents to worry.
In that context, orienting behavioral standards in cyberspace is extremely necessary. When issued, the Code will be the foundation for building a healthy online cultural environment, spreading humanistic and positive values in society" - Mr. Binh said.
Encourage the spread of good information and sanction harmful information
From the ongoing issues, the agency drafting the Code also needs to consider and add to the content of " malicious information" and responsibility when sharing information.
In the Code, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism also provides a definition of toxic information, including: "Information to incite and guide the implementation of illegal acts, negatively affecting social order and safety; Information on violence, inciting violence, sexual harassment, gambling; Other negative information". However, it is also necessary to clarify these definitions.
At the event "Dialogues Forum between the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Vietnamese Digital content creators" held on November 29, the leaders of the ministry also informed about solutions to prevent bad and toxic information on social networks, especially emphasizing the role of KOLs and KOCs - those who have influence in cyberspace.
Mr. Le Quang Tu Do - Director of the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information - informed that in recent times, the department has built a mechanism to combine humans and algorithms to prevent violations on digital platforms with a scanning rate of over 90%. Recently, platforms have applied AI to block violating content right from the upload stage, helping to censor more proactively and effectively.
In addition to accompanying and supporting, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism also applies sanctions to deter and punish individuals who create content that intentionally violates many times. In serious cases, criminal proceedings may be recommended" - Mr. Le Quang Tu Do said.
Thus, in addition to encouraging people to be proactive and contribute to building a behavioral culture in the digital space, the authorities also have solutions to prevent, detect and handle violations.
