Vietnam legislators back cyber law clamping down on tech firms, dissent

HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnamese legislators approved a cybersecurity law on Tuesday that tightens control of the internet and global tech companies operating in the Communist-led country, raising fears of economic harm and a further crackdown on dissent. The cyber law, approved by 91 percent of attending legislators, requires Facebook , Google and other global technology firms to store locally "important" personal data on users in Vietnam and open offices in the country.
