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.

      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

            haha all good. Also another thing that might have impacted my experience is I use Consent-O-Matic which helps eliminate most GDPR pop-ups which is half of what was annoying you; right? Which, FWIW, is why you get those cookie pop-ups most of the times. For right wrong or indifferent it’s an EU law and The Guardian follows it I guess. I mean sure it would be nice if they just didn’t try to collect shit cookies so they didn’t have to then ask you about it, but that’s what we got sooooo [sigh]
