Two Vietnamese men were sentenced to six months in prison for posting locations of traffic checkpoints on Facebook. The decision came this week after the men were in custody for four months for “illegally circulating information on the Internet.” Their posts advised drivers how to avoid temporary traffic checkpoints in the city of Hai Phong. Their lawyer calls the sentencing “a risky move.” And he says the men only used Facebook to express their views. He says the sentencing is a restriction of freedom of speech. Jailing the men amplifies an ongoing debate about the role of social media sites like Facebook in Vietnam, where media is controlled by the government.

Media rights organizations like Reporters Without Borders call Vietnam “the enemy of the Internet” because of its online censorship and surveillance of sites like Facebook. The government, however, says it wants to embrace social networks and use them to provide accurate information. Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung says he wants citizens to be responsible Internet users. Aside from the men who posted about traffic checkpoints, other people in Vietnam are using Facebook to make controversial posts.
