HÀ NỘI — The Hà Nội Market Management Department has said businesses operating on social networks such as Facebook, Zalo and Viber should be under the same management as e-commerce websites.

E-commerce websites that violate regulations may be shut down under the law and have their domain names revoked.

In addition, there should be close co-ordination between ministries, departments and agencies in handling and solving e-commerce related issues.

The department sanctioned 47 cases for administrative violations last year, issuing total fines of VNĐ521 million (US$22,360).

In addition, some cases were transferred to the police to handle. — VNS
