The National Media Office (NMO) has urged social media users in the UAE to uphold the country’s values of respect, tolerance, and ethical responsibility while engaging on digital platforms. The office stressed the legal consequences of spreading misinformation, hate speech, or defamation, including content that abuses national symbols, public figures or friendly nations, which would result in strict penalties.
The NMO reaffirmed that it will work with authorities to monitor violations, ensuring a safe and balanced digital environment. Users are urged to:
- Avoid sharing misleading information or offensive content
- Refrain from defamation, insults, or disrespectful discourse
- Promote constructive discussions and cultural understanding
- Report inappropriate content through official channels
The NMO’s initiative aligns with the UAE’s broader vision of fostering a respectful and inclusive society, encouraging users to reflect the nation’s leadership values in online interactions.
