That particular API is actually perfectly fine, stable and relatively pleasant to work with. I have absolutely no idea what the UK sales team was trying to do. Some kind of negging? Perhaps they trained at Tate university.

If you do it in a comparable manner? Probably. Or, you know, just hit someone with a car. Criminal charges are often not filed even if the driver is clearly at fault.

Basically everyone in the UAE uses VPNs, the government is OK with this. They do DPI to interfere with VOIP calling over VPNs though, the purpose being to use phone bills as a yet another hidden tax (which the UAE has a plenty of).
