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.
PBS and Mother Jones both don’t.
Yes they have a donate button, what they don’t have is “turn off your adblocker or subscribe to keep reading this article”
Boh of them let you hit X on the donate and then keep reading.
I think your assessment is wrong.
PBS is a non-com non-profit.
Mother Jones literally runs a bi-monthly subscription magazine that funds their operations, aside from the ads on their website.
And both of them enjoy being in the US while The Guardian is a British publication, with more stringent requirements on financial steps, which is why they have to ask for permission to collect your information. Oh, and even then, their site manages to load a total of 3 trackers. Mother Jones is at 218 just loading the front page, both checked with domain level adblocking…
But hey, if you’d rather enjoy the mirage of not being datamined instead of being told upfront and offered to not be datamined for a little money… that’s on you buddy. But I doubt that unicorn will show up on your next birthday…
Ok, so there are left leaning options that don’t require you to turn off adblocker or subscribe to read the article.
Even on those sites I mentioned you can still decline the cookies and read the whole article.
