Residents Beware: You Could Be Fined AED1Million For Doing This One Thing
Careful friends, this one could affect everyone.
Spreading false information online could lead you to fines of up to AED1million.
The risk is particularly pertinent to social media users, according to a tweet by The Telecommunications and Regulatory Authority (TRA) this week.
The message? Don’t spread information which could be false. (So if you’re thinking of hitting that ‘share’ button either on Facebook or WhatsApp, think again and verify your sources first).
