Vietnam’s National Assembly has passed a cyber security law requiring companies such as Alphabet Inc’s Google and Facebook Inc to store all data of Vietnam-based users in the country and open local offices. The Human Rights Watch has called on the assembly to revise its overly broad and vague draft cyber security law to bring it into compliance with international legal standards. It argues that authorities may be able to exploit the law based on their wide discretion to determine when expression must be censored as “illegal.” The VN Express International reported on Monday that several legislators had also expressed grave reservations and urged serious consideration of the proposed cyber security law before taking a decision tomorrow morning on passing it.
