Those covered when it was issued have until about January 2027.",[31,34,37,40,43],{"q":32,"a":33},"Does the UAE Child Digital Safety Law apply to apps based outside the UAE?","It can. The law covers digital platforms \"operating within the State or directed at users in the State\" (Art. 3), and Resolution 106 applies to social media platforms wherever the provider is established. An app run from abroad but aimed at users in the UAE is in scope. Whether yours is \"directed at\" them is a question for your lawyer.",{"q":35,"a":36},"When do platforms have to comply with the UAE Child Digital Safety Law?","The law has applied since 1 January 2026. Those covered when it was issued have up to one year from its entry into force, so until about 1 January 2027, unless the Cabinet extends it (Art. 18). Social media platforms have until 30 June 2027 for the under-15 rules of Resolution 106. The detailed duties of each platform depend on a classification resolution that the official portal did not list on 16 October 2026.",{"q":38,"a":39},"Does the UAE law require AI moderation?","It lists AI among the duties, according to each platform's class. Art. 10(1)(g) asks platforms for reporting tools and for the use of their technical means, \"including artificial intelligence systems and machine learning algorithms, for proactive detection, removal, or reporting\". The government portal u.ae sums this up as \"use of artificial intelligence to detect and remove harmful content\", but the law's text is what binds. How far it goes for your platform depends on the classification resolution.",{"q":41,"a":42},"What are the penalties under the UAE Child Digital Safety Law?","Not published yet. Art. 16 leaves the list of administrative penalties, the bodies that impose them and the way to challenge them to a Cabinet regulation, which the official portal did not list on 16 October 2026. The law already lets the authorities close a platform or block it in part or in full (Art. 10(3)), and Resolution 106 adds warnings, applied step by step (Art. 7). Neither text sets fine amounts.",{"q":44,"a":45},"Does Detectivision moderate Arabic text?","Yes. Arabic is one of the ten languages whose text Detectivision's checks understand: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Turkish, Arabic, Russian and Hindi.
