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.
Man I fucking hate the Guardian.
Is there no source people can share that doesn’t force you to accept cookies or subscribe?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/auto-reject-cookies/
This still won’t let you read articles on websites like that though.
What do you mean? I must be doing something right because I click the link and get no cookie popup and can read it. Is there a paywall I’m missing?
or just use ublock and noscript? I was able to view the article without any of that. Not even sure how you use the internet without them but you do you.
I have ublock but not noscript
You said you’re able to view the article without either one? What browser do you use?
Looks like it does in fact work on desktop but I still have trouble getting it to on mobile. I’ll experiment around with it
I said (or thought I implied) I use both and I use Firefox.
Oh yeah you did I misread that my bad I was like “WHAT HOW”
There are.
They’ll all have heavy right wing bias though. Is that what you want?
Every single one that doesn’t flood me with a “cookies or subscribe” banner has a right wing bias?
Pretty much yes.
Why?
Because all the big media conglomerates are pushing right wing agenda. They don’t want/need your money that bad because they have the financial backing and those “news portals” are not a service, but a tool to spread propaganda.
On the other hand, true independent or left leaning publications don’t have the same financial backing, thus rely on subscriptions, ads and seemingly anti-consumer approaches just to stay afloat.
Remember: if it’s “free”, you’re the product.
PBS and Mother Jones both don’t.
Yes they have a donate button, what they don’t have is “turn off your adblocker or subscribe to keep reading this article”
Boh of them let you hit X on the donate and then keep reading.
I think your assessment is wrong.
