UAE ISPs violate users' privacy

Indifferent to basic human rights and with no state oversight, the main internet service providers (ISPs) in the United Arab Emirates violate the privacy of their users' personal information, reveals a new study conducted by ImpACT International for Human Rights Policies.
The study examined eight ISPs in the UAE: Etisalat, Thuraya, DU, Skystream, Nedaa, Yahsat, SWYP and Virgin Mobile. ImpACT concluded that none of the ISPs fully respect and comply with human rights principles in their privacy policies, thus leaving their customers’ privacy vulnerable to misuse and abuse.
