Media outlets in the UAE and elsewhere have picked up on a variety of recent stories regarding the use of social media in the UAE.  These stories include one about an Australian expat being arrested, jailed and deported after posting a picture of a car taking up two disabled parking spots.  A similar story from earlier in the summer related to an appellate decision to overturn the sentence of a man who had been found guilty in Dubai of insulting a colleague in a WhatsApp message.   The man was originally fined AED3,000 (approx. £500).   However the Federal Supreme Court held that the sentence was too lenient and ordered a retrial.  These cases follow another case earlier this year where an American man was arrested after posting derogatory comments about his employer in the UAE on Facebook.
