The Ministry of Information and Communications ('MIC') announced, on 3 December 2021, plans for the issuance of a Code of Conduct on Protection of Children in Cyberspace before the end of 2021 ('the Code of Conduct'). In particular, the announcement highlighted the increase in use of social networks by children and the adoption in June 2021 of Decision No. 830/QD-TTg dated June 01, 2021 of the Prime Minister on approving the Program on protection of and support for children to interact in a healthy and creative manner in the cyber environment in the 2021-2025 period.
