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.

      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
