Major General Khamis Matar Al Mazeina, Deputy Chief of Dubai Police, has said that the police will not monitor social networking websites, as this would be a violation of personal freedom. According to Al Mazeina, the UAE respects personal liberties and privacy, and no social networking accounts will be monitored unless there is a specific complaint. “We respect personal liberty and only step in when there is a complaint or a crime calling for our intervention, but we are not a control authority," said Al Mazeina.
