• Website administrators have to report any instances of prohibited online activities to authorities.
• Bloggers will be held personally liable for all the published content on their blogs.
• The draft require foreign internet companies to relocate their data centers to Vietnam.
• Foreign internet companies are compelled to provide information and cooperate with Vietnamese government agencies in internet censorship.
