WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Hanoi has deactivated its account on a popular Vietnamese website that's full of suspected pirated music and Hollywood movies.

The U.S. had used the site to promote American values, including respect for intellectual property rights.

The State Department says the social media account with ZingMe was suspended after a review prompted by concerns about digital piracy on the site.
