The United Arab Emirates has launched a high-profile crackdown on misleading war content circulating online, arresting 35 individuals, including 19 Indian nationals, in connection with manipulated videos related to US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran. Following an extensive investigation, UAE prosecutors have fast-tracked trials for suspects accused of creating false war narratives that could incite public disorder. The UAE Attorney General, Hamad Saif Al Shams, emphasized strict digital surveillance measures to curb the spread of fabricated content and propaganda that glorifies military aggression. The investigation has categorized the accused into three distinct groups: those sharing real war footage, individuals manipulating videos using AI and propagandists promoting military escalation.
