Vietnam: The State of Internet Censorship

Vietnam is one of the countries with the strictest surveillance in all aspects. Internet censorship is one of the methods used by the government for national security. Freedom of speech and the press in Vietnam appear to be restricted. Independent news outlets such as the BBC, CNN, RFA, RFI, and VOA have also been blocked. This report aims to examine the current state of internet censorship in Vietnam by collecting and analysing network measurements and therefore increasing the transparency of internet controls in Vietnam. The data for analysis is from Open Observatory Network Interference (OONI) detection and reporting systems.
