The move aims to prevent law violations and scams using social networks, Lam said.
He added that the upcoming session of the NA will consider a draft of the revised telecom law, which stipulates that overseas over-the-top (OTT) apps will be subject to the same management like domestic ones.
Regarding measures to prevent the abuse of technologies to commit cybercrimes, Deputy Minister of Public Security Nguyen Duy Ngoc said that the matching of the national resident database and phone numbers has contributed to improving the situation.
As of April 15, the MIC had detected 1.2 million phone numbers whose users have failed to identify themselves, he noted.
Ngoc said that in the time to come, the Ministry of Public Security will discuss with banks to verify payment accounts to minimize frauds and scams in cyberspace./.
