두바이 인플루언서들은 이란과의 갈등을 게시한 혐의로 감옥에 갈 것이라고 경고했습니다.

Authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have told the emirate’s vast online creator community that posts deemed harmful to “public order”, “national unity” or the reputation of the state could lead to penalties including fines of up to $77,000 (£58,000) or even jail. The warning has prompted some influencers to remove footage from their accounts as tensions in the region intensify. One influencer said she deleted a video showing burning debris outside her apartment after realising social media users “have to be very careful about what they say”. Campaign group Detained in Dubai says foreigners in the Gulf state have previously been detained or fined over content posted on platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, as well as comments made in WhatsApp messages. Its campaigners warned that many residents and visitors may not realise when they have crossed a legal line, particularly if they share posts about the UAE’s air defences intercepting Iranian missiles. Dubai and the wider UAE have already been directly affected by the war in Iran, with missile debris falling across the city over the weekend. On Saturday evening, debris from an intercepted Iranian missile struck the Fairmont hotel on the Palm Jumeirah, one of Dubai’s most famous tourist resorts. Footage showed flames rising from the building’s atrium. The following morning, debris from another Iranian missile struck near Dubai International Airport. The UAE already has some of the world’s strictest cybercrime laws, with commentary about regional conflicts, security matters or government policy potentially falling foul of the legislation.

She told The Telegraph: “The Dubai authorities want to control the narrative, that’s for sure. There are strict rules about what you can say here. “The authorities in Dubai don’t want panic to spread from people posting misinformation. It’s in their interests to keep people calm and I can understand that.” The influencer, who has millions of followers on Instagram, filmed the debris outside her apartment after an Iranian missile was intercepted overhead on Saturday. She later removed the footage and decided not to post further clips “out of respect for the UAE’s rules”. She added: “I was numb when I saw the flames. I didn’t know how to feel because at first, I didn’t know what I was looking at. But things have calmed down now, after a few days. People are even back on the beach. I feel quite safe.” Donald Trump renews attack on Sir Keir Starmer as UK sends more Typhoon fighter jets to Gulf Donald Trump has renewed his attack on Sir Keir Starmer for not initially allowing the US to use UK airbases for the war against Iran. It comes as Israel says it is moving to the ‘next phase’ of its operation against Iran, pledging to further dismantle the regime and its military capabilities. US-Israeli air strikes have continued, with Iranians saying that they are frightened and exhausted by the relentless bombing of their homes. The influencer, who had planned to fly to London before her flight was grounded due to the conflict, said authorities had been quick to provide information about what residents should do during attacks. “If there’s a reason to worry they will tell you to go to a shelter or whatever. They know panicking doesn’t help,” she said. Passengers on cruise ships anchored off the coast of Dubai have also been warned not to talk publicly about the conflict. Jan Arnott, a 71-year-old passenger travelling with Celestyal Cruises, said: “We were told not to discuss the situation on board. We saw defence planes and smoke from the attack on the airport but have felt safe throughout. Nobody at home can believe what we are saying.” Detained in Dubai said individuals have previously faced charges in the country for taking photos in front of restricted locations. Authorities in the UAE are particularly sensitive about online content that could spread “false information”, damage diplomatic relations or threaten national security. Campaigners warned that even posts from stranded travellers complaining about delays to evacuation flights could potentially breach the rules. Within hours of the US and Israeli strikes on Iran beginning on Saturday, the UAE’s public prosecution office issued a statement warning against “publishing or circulating rumours and information from unknown sources through social media platforms or any other technological means”. The statement said the warning was issued because of “the consequences thereof, including the spread of confusion and harm to the security and stability of society”. It added: “Any person who shares or reposts content from unknown sources shall be subject to legal accountability in accordance with the applicable legislation, even if they are not the original creator of such content.” The statement contin
