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.

100% and I'm an early adopter of all decentralized platforms but I still run IT of my all extended family and have a few connections through these platforms so even with my limited use I'm still exposed to so many scams. I can't imagine what a daily normal user sees, it must be just scam after scam.
