The authority explained that Article 6, Paragraph 1 of the Anti-Cybercrime Law stipulates: “Anyone who commits the crime of producing, preparing, transmitting, or storing, via the internet, anything that could harm public order, religious values, public morals, or the sanctity of private life shall be punished by imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years and a fine not exceeding SR3 million, or by either of these penalties.”

The authority emphasized that it will not tolerate any media content that could harm public order or violate media regulations, and will take all necessary deterrent measures against any violators.
