UAE uses cybercrime laws to prosecute 21 over missile-strike videos

The United Arab Emirates has charged 21 people under cybercrime laws for filming and sharing videos of Iranian missile and drone attacks, including a 60-year-old British tourist.

Detained in Dubai notes authorities are arresting people seen filming attacks, and officials warn against circulating footage that could incite panic.
