The ease of online donations and sharing campaigns can sometimes lead to <strong>superficial acts of altruism<\/strong>, challenging grassroots humanitarian efforts. In Vietnam, the incidents involving allegations of influencer-driven self-promotion through charity to high-profile celebrity scandals over mishandled funds underscore how digital humanitarianism risks <strong>prioritizing visibility and immediacy over long-term solutions<\/strong> to systemic challenges like inequality, environmental degradation, or governance gaps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As highlighted by Roth, Purkayastha, and Denskus (2024) in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Barnett (2011) distinguishes <strong>two branches of humanitarianism<\/strong>: one that addresses <strong>immediate symptoms<\/strong> in emergencies and another that aims to <strong>tackle the root causes of suffering<\/strong> (p. 4). The case studies presented here primarily focus on the former:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Case 1: Celebrity humanitarianism and transparency concerns<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In recent years, Vietnamese celebrities have increasingly taken on the role of humanitarian figures, launching fundraising campaigns to support those affected by natural disasters. While these efforts often garner significant public support, they have also raised concerns about transparency and accountability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A notable example is the case of Vietnamese singer Thuy Tien, who raised a record-breaking <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/e.vnexpress.net\/news\/life\/trend\/vietnamese-celebs-face-scandal-over-philanthropy-4355786.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">VND 177 billion (~$7.7 million)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 2020 to assist flood victims in Central Vietnam. Despite her swift response and direct distribution of aid, questions arose regarding the use of funds. To address these concerns, Tien publicly released financial records and shared updates through live streams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, a well-known comedian Hoai Linh faced widespread criticism for his delayed distribution of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/e.vnexpress.net\/news\/life\/arts\/philanthropy-minus-transparency-equals-loss-of-trust-celebrities-discover-4284068.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">VND 13.4 billion (~$581,742)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> raised for flood relief. His explanation that the COVID-19 pandemic hindered his efforts was met with skepticism. This case, along with others involving Vietnamese celebrities, highlights the public&#8217;s growing demand for transparency and accountability in celebrity-led humanitarian initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Case 2: Inflated receipts and backlash in digital philanthropy<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The recent Typhoon Yagi, which devastated Vietnam&#8217;s northern mountainous regions, revealed a shift in donation patterns, with contributions and trust directed toward the state. Donations poured in, amassing approximately <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnamnews.vn\/society\/1663556\/viet-nam-fatherland-front-central-committee-receives-vnd1-65-trillion-in-typhoon-yagi.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">VND 1.65 trillion (~$66.9 million)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> through the Central Relief Mobilisation Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF). To ensure transparency, the VFF publicly disclosed 12,000 pages of bank statements from September 1 to 10, 2024. The detailed bank statements revealed that some individuals, including TikTokers, Facebook influencers, and YouTubers, had <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hanoitimes.vn\/exaggerated-donations-for-people-affected-by-the-floods-donors-should-be-ashamed-327984.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">inflated their donation amounts through image editing of transaction receipts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on their social media channels. Public backlash ensued as such dishonesty disrespected the grief and losses faced by affected communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_300\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-300\" style=\"width: 461px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-300 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2024\/11\/Charity.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2024\/11\/Charity.jpeg 461w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2024\/11\/Charity-216x300.jpeg 216w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/msm24group1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2024\/11\/Charity-252x350.jpeg 252w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An illustration showing contrasting scenes of charity efforts and people in distress during flood conditions. Illustrated by: Tr\u1ecbnh L\u1eadp.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Lahiri (2024) observes, the act of donation can be a complex interplay of <strong>altruism and self-interest<\/strong> (p. 182). The cases under consideration not only involve legal wrongdoing; they also raise important <strong>ethical questions and governance challenges<\/strong> in the context of digital humanitarianism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Philanthro-capitalism and \u2018imagined solidarity\u2019<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These cases align with concerns about <strong>philanthro-capitalism<\/strong> (Fejerskov, 2022) and <strong>celebrity humanitarianism<\/strong> (Brockington, 2014) cited in Roth, Purkayastha, &amp; Denskus (2024, p. 6), where charity becomes a performative act benefiting the donors\u2019 reputation. In an age where personal branding is a livelihood strategy for some, this shift risks promoting superficial engagement over ethical, grassroots humanitarianism. As Lahiri (2024, p. 182) reflects via Richey (2018), digital technologies encourage a <strong>care imperative<\/strong> that, over time, devolves into <strong>&#8220;clicktivism&#8221; and individualistic humanitarianism<\/strong>. This creates an <strong>&#8216;imagined solidarity&#8217;<\/strong> that neglects systemic inequities, reinforcing <strong>capitalist approaches to humanitarian crises<\/strong> (Roth, Purkayastha, &amp; Denskus, 2024, p. 6). Moreover, celebrities attract vast amounts of donations due to their visibility, often sidelining grassroots or less-visible efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>The impact of digital platforms in humanitarianism<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Digital platforms have undeniably enhanced the coordination and reach of citizen aid, enabling <strong>rapid mobilization of resources and connecting distant actors<\/strong> (Lahiri, 2024, p. 180). For instance, singer Thuy Tien successfully used such platforms to secure substantial donations and deliver immediate relief, exemplifying citizen groups\u2019 ability to address gaps in government-provided services (Lahiri, 2024, p. 179). However, a balance between professional expertise and spontaneous altruistic acts is crucial for effective humanitarian response (Stroup, 2024, p. 116). Given the lack of formal training in humanitarian work, celebrities may encounter difficulties in effectively managing large-scale donations, particularly when facilitated by the rapid and accessible nature of digital platforms. Without proper training or understanding, well-intentioned efforts can foster inadvertently hinder effective relief (Stroup, 2024, p. 117). Futhermore, digital platforms can foster a new generation of <strong>&#8216;laptop humanitarians&#8217;<\/strong> (Richey, 2018) who may overlook the significance of fostering genuine solidarity and understanding with the affected communities (Lahiri, 2024, p. 182).<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Legal and cultural gaps in humanitarian accountability<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While flaws in the actions of certain celebrities and young influencers are evident, it\u2019s essential to consider systemic issues contributing to these problems. For instance, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnamnet.vn\/en\/celebrities-and-charity-scandals-and-legal-gaps-774052.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vietnam\u2019s legal framework, such as Decree 64\/2008<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, lacks regulations for individuals engaged in charitable activities, leaving gaps in accountability and transparency. Recent efforts of the Ministry of Finance to include specific regulations for individual charity activities by requiring individuals to report their fundraising efforts are a positive step. In the second case, the prevalence of \u201cfake receipts\u201d raises questions about societal norms that promote <strong>superficial compassion for the &#8216;suffering of distant others\u2019<\/strong> (Boltanski, 1999) and a culture of <strong>achieving status through performative acts on social media<\/strong>. This approach risks distorting the true needs of affected communities, where the <strong>focus shifted from systemic disaster recovery to individual actions<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In conclusion, while celebrity and influencer-driven charity often brings visibility and resources to crises, their transient involvement risks overshadowing the deeper, structural issues of inequality and long-term support systems. Like butterflies that briefly alight before moving on, <strong>\u2018fleeting altruists\u2019<\/strong> may inadvertently reduce complex crises to temporary spectacles (Stroup, 2024, 116). The challenge lies in fostering a culture of accountability, transparency, and sustained commitment to addressing both immediate and systemic needs. Humanitarianism, when grounded in <strong>genuine solidarity and ethical engagement<\/strong>, holds the potential to not only alleviate suffering but also confront the inequalities at its root. Recognizing and moving beyond fleeting altruism is essential for ensuring that <strong>aid efforts truly serve those most in need<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chi Duong<\/strong><\/p>\n<h6><b>References\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Boltanski, L.
