Dubai’s police chief Lt Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim has said that YouTube “incites hatred” and, so, should be banned in the country, reports Khaleej Times.
Tamim reportedly said that the video-sharing website contained material that “sparked dissension,” especially regarding religious belief. “Publishing pornographic material and defamatory ideas is not freedom,” he commented in Emarat Al Youm.
YouTube is one of the 10 most visited sites in the UAE. So, are you full of hate yet?
