The inspection content is TikTok's compliance with Vietnamese laws. One of the main contents is compliance with regulations on providing social networking services to domestic users.
This includes the process of censoring information, authenticating users, preventing and removing information that violates Vietnamese law, and handling user complaints. The inspection content will include the distribution algorithm, recommending content to users, and the collection, management, storage, and use of user data, ensuring information security and network security.
In addition, the working group will also inspect compliance with regulations on advertising, management of celebrities, and people working in the performing arts field on TikTok (Idol TikTok).
Another issue of concern is compliance with legal regulations on child protection and prevention of social evils in cyberspace. The inspection team will also assess the impact of Tiktok on adolescents.
At the same time, TikTok's compliance with regulations related to the provision of e-commerce services and tax obligations will be comprehensively inspected.
