Up front, I love Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This talk is designed to educate my fellow travelers on the current situation concerning what you cannot post on the Internet while in the UAE. I’m merely reinforcing what the UAE government has already published for your safety and awareness. Here we go… According to various media reports: “Forty-five people of various nationalities have been arrested for sharing videos of Iranian missile and drone strikes on the UAE, police in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi have confirmed.” On this livestream I’ll discuss travel safety advisories & information published by UAE government agencies. The bottom line up front is that if you are in the UAE, or even transiting the area, DO NOT post any videos of missile strikes, re-post existing videos, or even comment on circulating footage of the war. Just don’t do it or you could end up in jail.
