Dubai Police block 103 social media accounts used for online scams
Dubai Police shut down 103 fraudulent social media accounts during the second quarter of 2026 as part of efforts to protect residents from online scams.

Independently researched from primary research, official UAE guidance, and current reporting. Checked on August 2, 2026. The job interview now has an AI problem on both sides of the call.

Your AI Bill Is Leaving the Per-Seat Era. Budget by Workflow
Pricing pages and billing documentation checked on August 1, 2026. Prices are USD list prices before UAE VAT, card conversion or reseller adjustments. AI software used to look like ordinary SaaS.
