> Since 30 April 2026, Gulf-focused NGOs ALQST for Human Rights and Democratic Diwan, as well as Saudi researcher Abdullah Alaoudh and human rights defender Yahya Assiri, have had their Facebook accounts rendered “unavailable” in Saudi Arabia at the request of the Saudi government, in a form of “geo-blocking”. Similar restrictions have been imposed in the UAE I believe in digital sovereignty. These countries should be able to decide what content is visible to normie users. (Note: Here the term "normie" means people who do not use VPNs.) Would we have the same level of response if GCC gov'ts also blocked alcohol or gambling or adult content websites? (Friendly reminder: GCC citizens are 95%+ Moslems.)
