HÀ NỘI — Viettel Group has co-operated with Facebook to remove 186 fanpages that were considered to be impersonating the group on the social network.

Viettel said it would continue to review and look at solutions to remove fake fanpages from Facebook to protect its customers both in reality and cyberspace.

The move has also shown Viettel’s efforts to prevent fake news and build a healthy digital environment. — VNS
