The Higher Committee for Child Protection at the Ministry of Interior praised measures taken by Facebook to ban indecent or sexual photos and comments.
Maj Gen Nasser Al Nuaimi, chairman of the committee, said the measures are a significant step towards the protection of children and the community’s ethics, especially in view of the popularity of the social media site.
He said the Ministry of Interior has introduced a number of international initiatives aimed at making the internet safer for children. The committee recently held a joint exercise in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to monitor child pornography cases.
