As Phụ Nữ reports, Vietnam recently announced Decree No. 342, which details a number of provisions to the national Advertising Law, due to take effect from February 15, 2026. The adjustments are expected to place stricter control on Vietnam’s online advertising activities to protect consumers and curb illegal ads.
Amongst the decree articles, some standout stipulations include a hard cap on the waiting time before viewers can skip video and animated ads to no more than 5 seconds. Static ads must be immediately cancellable.



Yeeah i guess your right. It would just be pretty insane move from google in my opinion there are just so many people and organisations that need vpns for like domain use and whatnot.
If your corporate VPN is routing ALL traffic then your IT department are idiots. And I am pretty sure said company would thank google for blocking youtube from their employees.
The commentor said that google would block ALL the vpns. Not just youtube. Google as a whole.
And, when discussing stuff like this, it is important to understand that “all VPNs” actually means corporate and public VPNs.
If you want to have an actual conversation then context matters. Rather than just fixating on nonsensical overly literal interpretations because you only want to be “technically correct” by attacking a strawman.
Was your point that there are different vpn protocols and types that google would be able to leverage in order to ban certain vpns and not other types? Becouse i just looked it up and i had no idea there were different types and protocols tbh
Im not sure what we even disagree on we seemed to agree that it would be impossible and insane for google to block vpn ips? Im not trying to argue or even to be right that just was what i commented on? Like i get that there prolly is some technical stuff that you know better here involving vpns but that was not wat i originally commented on. Can we make up a truce that you know vpns better than i do and it would be insane for google to start banning vpns? <3
Depends.
I am in uni, so a bit different, but there’s many sites that allow access to articles, studies, books, etc. to us based on source IP. And I guess it could be hard to route only those, especially if some of them decide to use Cloudflare or similar.
Another option is doing so for easier monitoring of work devices that people will always try to use for things they’re not supposed to.
