In this fast-paced digital world that spans many platforms, it is important that all sources are verified before speculating.
Lately, a circular was shared among many UAE social media platforms quoting some very strict communication regulations, including close monitoring of UAE residents social media pages, phone calls and messaging apps, under the guise of a precautionary measure to control the spread of COVID-19.
However, The Community Development Authority (CDA), whose name was on the circular, was quick to respond to this news and has called it "Fake News".
A statement from the authority said, "The CDA calls on the public to be cautious and not to publish or exchange unreliable information and refer to the responsible sources for obtaining the correct information to avoid accountability and violate applicable legislation."
