The BBC is being cancelled by people in the UAE.

The Arab world is responding to negative media attention with a campaign to block the BBC. The British Broadcasting Corporation is a public service broadcaster and news organisation and people are now proudly tweeting that they’ve blocked all accounts relating to the broadcaster.

Last week, we wrote ‘The Hope Probe Is The Positive Arab News Story That Needs The World’s Attention’. Negative media attention focused on this region is a constant theme, and tweets going viral today, are the public saying, ‘no more’. The hashtag has been viewed 3 million times on Twitter as the story gains legs.
