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.

I had a look and yeah, I can do without the anime bullshit. I just want a simple mahjong solitaire. The Mobilityware one I've been playing is nice, but the ads have gotten to me, and when I looked to remove them it was a monthly subscription, and fuck that.

    There is Tenhou, which is more basic, but it feels too serious, and I think it's only in japanese.

    Kemono Mahjong has less anime, and a really good UI for phones and only costs 5USD 1 time, but you can only play against computers or friends, no random match making.
