VTV suddenly let "Unknown" air, exposing the trick of "leading" public opinion

"Unknown" is a TikTok channel specializing in prying into the private lives of Vietnamese artists who are active on social networks. The information released by this channel is unverified and has affected the careers of many famous people.

The problem is that many Tik Tok and Facebook accounts today take advantage of freedom of speech to post unverified information to offend the honor and dignity of individuals, especially artists - people with influence on the public is causing pain.

In a recent report, VTV mentioned this channel when talking about the issue of spreading false and true information on social networks. Specifically, "Unknown" was called out by the station when posting information with bad, negative intentions or harming others but received high interactions, making it difficult for viewers to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The TikTok channel has for some time become a controversial topic because its content often focuses on criticizing individuals in the entertainment industry, by revealing unverified information or negative comments.

The incident raises concerns about the privacy of celebrities, as well as the accuracy and responsibility of information spread on social networks. However, this account is still almost arrogant in the face of the helplessness of those involved.

Notably, the owner of this TikTok channel also immediately updated developments after the report aired. This channel does not express the attitude or reaction too clearly, but only mentions the station calling the name. Besides, the channel still posts other "scandalous" videos as usual.

According to research, "Unknown" or "This is Mask" are in charge. Behind the channel, this fanpage is said to be a company in Phu Nhuan district, Ho Chi Minh City.

Only later did the owner of this channel begin to dig into the artist's private life. In just over a year, this channel released hundreds of clips, attracting a large number of followers and a huge level of interaction.

Even many Hot TikTokers such as: Ciin, Xuan Ca, Hoang Lan Anh, Quynh Ailee... also suffered when being "called out" by this channel.
