UAE cybercrime law means sharing images or footage of war can bring jail, prison time and deportation
A British man is among 20 people who have been charged in the United Arab Emirates under cybercrime laws in connection with filming and posting material related to Iranian attacks on the country.
The 60-year-old man, understood to be a tourist who was visiting Dubai, was charged under a law that prohibits sharing material that could disturb public security.
The case was highlighted by Detained in Dubai, an organisation that provides legal assistance to individuals in the UAE.
Well he is british so he already has a shit government with a king with zero free speech and a history of abusing and oppression.
The worst thing about being Irish is the proximity to the British…
The worst thing about being British is proximity to the monarchy…
Like, people always forget that the real problem was the French aristocrats who took over Britain and didn’t have any loyalty or comradarie to the English people.
For like 300 years the royals and English government used French, they didn’t switch to English until fear of revolt made them want to build cohesion with the masses.
TLDR:
The first victims of the “British” royal family, were the fucking British. As the Empire grew, they changed their definitions of “us” but always only after finding a new “them” to distract the British populace from the fact that foreign invaders have been ruling their island for a literal thousand years.
It’s hard to shit on an occupied people because their occupiers never stopped occupying…
