As Phụ Nữ reports, Vietnam recently announced Decree No. 342, which details a number of provisions to the national Advertising Law, due to take effect from February 15, 2026. The adjustments are expected to place stricter control on Vietnam’s online advertising activities to protect consumers and curb illegal ads.

Amongst the decree articles, some standout stipulations include a hard cap on the waiting time before viewers can skip video and animated ads to no more than 5 seconds. Static ads must be immediately cancellable.

If your corporate VPN is routing ALL traffic then your IT department are idiots. And I am pretty sure said company would thank google for blocking youtube from their employees.

    And, when discussing stuff like this, it is important to understand that "all VPNs" actually means corporate and public VPNs.

    If you want to have an actual conversation then context matters. Rather than just fixating on nonsensical overly literal interpretations because you only want to be "technically correct" by attacking a strawman.

    Depends.
    I am in uni, so a bit different, but there's many sites that allow access to articles, studies, books, etc. to us based on source IP. And I guess it could be hard to route only those, especially if some of them decide to use Cloudflare or similar.

    Another option is doing so for easier monitoring of work devices that people will always try to use for things they're not supposed to.
