Vietnamnet has published more calls for cross-border platforms to open local offices. This is not news persay, these laws have been in place for some time and seem to have been largely ignored by big players like Google and Facebook. This does suggest that these new regulations requiring these firms to open local offices may not be going away.
It’s also worth noting that this connects with another story this week about Meta, Facebook’s parent company, looking to manufacturer hardware for the metaverse in Vietnam.
