Currently, hostile and reactionary forces frequently exploit digital technology to create fake content aimed at distorting the truth, inciting public opinion, and tarnishing the reputation of agencies, organizations, and individuals. Any act of using social media to disseminate false information or insult the honor and reputation of agencies and organizations will be severely punished according to the law. Every citizen needs to raise their sense of responsibility when participating in social media, contributing to building a safe, healthy, and civilized online environment.
