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.

    There are.

    They’ll all have heavy right wing bias though. Is that what you want?

        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.
