FILE 01When it happens to you

It usually starts with a message from a friend: “Have you seen what they are saying about you?”

Then you see it. A post calling you a fraud. A review describing things that never happened. A video that twists a private dispute into a public accusation. An account you have never heard of, repeating your name alongside words like scam, cheat or criminal. And every time you refresh, more people have seen it.

Online defamation is one of the most painful things that can happen to a professional reputation, because it attacks the one thing you cannot rebuild overnight: trust. In the UAE, where business moves on relationships, recommendations and family name, a single false post can lose you a client, a tenancy, a partnership or a job offer before you even know it exists. Your children may see it. Your parents may be asked about it. Your team may start to wonder.

If that is where you are today, please know two things. First, you are not powerless. The UAE has some of the strongest laws against online defamation in the world, and every major platform has rules against false and harassing content. Second, the way you respond in the next few days matters enormously. Acting calmly, collecting the right evidence and choosing the right route can turn a frightening situation into one that is quietly resolved.

This guide explains the best way to deal with online defamation in the UAE in 2026: how to tell defamation from criticism, how to report content on each platform, what UAE law says, how the time limits work, how the UK compares, what to do about anonymous accounts, and how to make sure accurate information about you rises above anything that stays online.

Three things to know today

  1. Save the evidence first. Screenshots with dates, full URLs and account names, before anything is deleted or edited.
  2. Watch the clock. UAE criminal complaints generally need to be filed within three months of learning about the post.
  3. Do not reply in anger. Counter-posts and insults can themselves break UAE law and weaken your position.

We are a PR and reputation firm, not a law firm. Where legal steps are needed, we work alongside qualified lawyers.

FILE 02The first test

Is it defamation, or is it criticism? The top signs to check

Not every negative post is defamation. Platforms, publishers and courts all draw a line between false statements that damage reputation and honest opinion, fair criticism or genuine experience. Knowing which side of the line a post falls on tells you which route will work.

Usually defamatory or removable

  • States as fact something false, such as “they stole my deposit” when no such thing happened
  • Accuses you of a crime, fraud or dishonesty without basis
  • Invents events, conversations or documents
  • Uses insults and abusive language designed to humiliate
  • Publishes private information, family details or photographs without consent
  • Comes from a fake account, a competitor posing as a customer or someone who never dealt with you
  • Is part of a coordinated campaign of repeated posts

Usually protected or harder to remove

  • A genuine customer describing a real experience, even harshly
  • Clearly expressed opinion, such as “I did not like the service”
  • Accurate reporting of a court case or public record
  • Fair comment on the conduct of a public figure or company
  • Satire that no reasonable reader would take as fact
  • Criticism of products, services or policies that reflects real events
  • Posts that are unpleasant but do not identify you

UAE law is stricter than many countries. Courts have held that a belief that a statement is true is not always a complete defence, and insulting language can be an offence even when some facts are accurate. Abu Dhabi courts have also distinguished permissible criticism from defamation by looking at the publisher’s intent. A qualified lawyer can tell you where a specific post falls.

FILE 03What we deal with

The top types of online defamation we remove in the UAE

Online defamation takes many forms. Some are obvious, others are carefully disguised as reviews, news or concern. Recognising the type helps you choose the fastest route.

Fake “scam” and fraud accusations

Posts and pages claiming a business steals from customers or runs a scam, often from people who never dealt with it. These are among the most damaging claims in the UAE market and among the strongest cases for removal.

Invented reviews

Reviews describing visits, treatments or purchases that never happened, written by competitors, former staff or people with a grudge. Most review platforms prohibit them.

Smear websites and blogs

Pages set up to rank for your name and tell a false story. They can often be removed through the host or registrar, or pushed down with stronger, accurate pages.

Edited videos and clips

Short clips cut to change the meaning of what someone said, shared on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X. Platforms act on manipulated content, harassment and privacy breaches.

Impersonation accounts

Fake profiles using your name, logo or photographs to post offensive content or mislead your customers. Impersonation breaks the rules of every major platform.

Forwarded WhatsApp messages

Accusations passed from group to group, sometimes with screenshots or voice notes. UAE courts treat WhatsApp as an information network, so the law can apply.

Forum and Reddit threads

Anonymous threads that mix rumour, private details and false claims. Moderators and platform safety teams remove posts that break community rules.

Complaint and “warning” sites

Sites that invite anonymous complaints and rank them for business names. Some remove content on request, others refuse as policy, in which case suppression is the answer.

Private information and doxxing

Posts revealing home addresses, phone numbers, family members or private photographs. These breach platform rules, Google’s personal information policies and UAE privacy law.

FILE 04Where it lives

How to remove defamatory content on each top platform

Every platform has its own rules and its own reporting routes. A report that cites the right policy, with clear evidence, is far more likely to succeed than a general complaint. These are the routes we use most for clients in the UAE.

Google Search

Web pages and results

Google has a legal removal process for defamation, and it acts on court orders naming specific URLs. Its personal information tools cover contact details and doxxing.

Google Maps

Fake reviews

Reviews from non-customers, competitors, conflicts of interest and off-topic attacks break Google’s policies. See removing Google reviews in the UAE.

Instagram

Posts, stories and accounts

Harassment, false information about individuals, impersonation and privacy breaches can be reported. See Instagram reputation management.

TikTok

Videos and comments

TikTok removes harassment, bullying, impersonation and content that shares private information. See TikTok post removal.

Facebook

Pages, groups and posts

Meta has a dedicated defamation reporting route as well as its community standards. See Facebook group post removal.

X

Posts and fake profiles

X acts on impersonation, targeted harassment, private information and valid legal requests from the affected person.

YouTube

Videos and channels

YouTube has a legal complaints form for defamation, plus privacy complaints for videos that identify you without consent.

LinkedIn

Posts and comments

False professional claims, harassment and fake profiles break LinkedIn’s policies. See LinkedIn reputation management.

Reddit and forums

Threads and comments

Moderators and platform safety teams remove doxxing, harassment and posts that break subreddit rules. See Reddit reputation management.

Employer sites

Glassdoor and similar

Reviews naming junior staff, revealing confidential information or written under pressure can be flagged. See removing Glassdoor reviews in the UAE.

Websites and blogs

Smear pages

Site owners, hosting companies and domain registrars can act on formal notices, especially where content is unlawful or breaches their terms.

News sites

Articles

Editors can correct, update or remove inaccurate articles. See our guide to removing negative news articles in the UAE.

FILE 05UAE law

The top UAE laws against online defamation

The UAE treats online defamation as a serious matter. Insulting or falsely accusing someone on social media, in a WhatsApp group, in a review or on a website can lead to criminal penalties, court-ordered removal and civil claims for compensation. That gives people who are targeted real leverage, as long as the right law is matched to the right facts.

Two points often surprise people. UAE courts have found that a person’s belief that their post was true did not clear them, and the Dubai Court of Cassation has said that publicity is not an essential element of the online offence, so a message in a private WhatsApp group can still be caught. The flip side is that people who respond to defamation with their own insults can also find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

United Press online reputation management overview showing Google results and review platforms
Removal, legal routes and search results are planned together.
Decree-Law 34/2021
Art. 43

Online insult and defamation

Insulting someone or attributing to them something that exposes them to punishment or contempt, using an information network or technology. Penalties include fines from AED 250,000 to AED 500,000 and/or imprisonment.

Decree-Law 34/2021
Art. 44

Privacy

Publishing photographs, private or family information, or recordings of a person without consent, even where the information is true.

Decree-Law 34/2021
Art. 52

False news and rumours

Spreading false information or rumours online, with heavier treatment in certain circumstances.

Decree-Law 31/2021
Arts. 425–428

Penal Code defamation and insult

Statements that damage a person’s honour or reputation, with heavier treatment where they are published.

Decree-Law 38/2022
Art. 11

Criminal procedure time limit

For offences such as defamation, a complaint generally needs to be made within three months of the victim learning of the offence and its author.

Civil Transactions Law

Civil compensation

People harmed by defamation can pursue civil claims for moral and material harm. Civil claims generally have a longer time limit, commonly three years from learning of the harm.

Cases that shaped the rules

  • Cassation 55/2023: a woman who called a Dubai hospital “the worst” on Instagram was convicted under Article 43, fined and ordered to remove the content. Her belief that her statement was true did not clear her.
  • Dubai Court of Cassation, Criminal Case 1222/2024 (April 2025): publicity is not a crucial requirement for liability under the cybercrime law, and WhatsApp counts as an information network.
  • Abu Dhabi, Judgment 917/2023: the court distinguished permissible criticism from defamation, looking at the intent behind social media posts.

FILE 06UAE and UK side by side

Online defamation in the UAE vs the UK: what is different

Many of our clients live, work or do business in both countries. The two systems approach defamation very differently, and the best route can depend on where the content was published, where you live and where the harm is felt.

QuestionUnited Arab EmiratesUnited Kingdom (England and Wales)
Is it a crime?Yes. Defamation and insult are criminal offences, including online under the cybercrime law.No. Defamation is a civil matter. Harassment and malicious communications can be criminal.

For people in the UK or the EU, data protection law also allows requests to delist search results about you that are inaccurate or out of date. Because the UK is one of our priority markets, we often combine UAE and UK routes in a single plan.

FILE 07Step by step

How to remove online defamation: the best six-step method

This is the process we follow for clients in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and around the world. Each step builds on the one before, and several run side by side.

  1. STEP 01

    Preserve every piece of evidence

    Save screenshots showing the date, time, account name and full URL. Record video of stories and live content before it expires. Keep copies of shares, comments and messages that repeat the claim.

  2. STEP 02

    Map everywhere the content appears

    Search your name and business in English and Arabic, check social platforms, forums, review sites and AI answers. Defamation rarely stays in one place, and copies often do more damage than the original.

  3. STEP 03

    Assess each item against the rules

    Decide which posts break platform policies, which are likely unlawful and which are genuine criticism. This tells you where a report will succeed and where a legal step or a public response is better.

  4. STEP 04

    Report to platforms and hosts

    File reports under the exact policy that applies, with evidence attached. For websites, send formal notices to the site owner, host or registrar. Follow up once, clearly and politely.

  5. STEP 05

    Take legal steps where they fit

    Where content is clearly unlawful, a qualified lawyer can file a complaint, send a legal notice or seek a court order. Court orders naming specific URLs are the strongest removal request you can make to Google and platforms.

  6. STEP 06

    Rebuild what people see

    Publish accurate, authoritative coverage in respected publications, strengthen your own profiles and keep watch for new posts, so the truth is what appears when anyone searches your name.

FILE 08Your evidence kit

What to collect before you do anything else

Evidence is the foundation of every successful removal. Platforms, hosts, lawyers and police all need to see exactly what was posted, where, when and by whom. Posts are often edited or deleted once the author realises they may face consequences, so collect everything now, even if you are not sure you will use it.

Keep your evidence in one secure folder, and do not share it publicly. If you are unsure whether something is relevant, keep it anyway. If the post is in Arabic, save the original wording as well as any translation, because the exact words matter in UAE proceedings.

FILE 09Faceless attacks

Anonymous accounts and fake profiles: how they are handled

Many defamation campaigns come from accounts that hide behind a made-up name or a stolen photograph. Anonymity makes things harder, but it rarely makes them impossible.

Platform action

Fake and impersonation accounts break the rules of every major platform. Reports that show the account is not genuine, or is pretending to be someone else, often lead to the whole account being removed, not just one post.

Legal identification

In the UAE, police and the public prosecution can investigate online offences and request account information. In the UK, courts can order platforms to reveal who is behind an account. A lawyer can advise which applies to you.

Pattern evidence

Writing style, posting times, shared images and links to a known dispute often point to the person behind a campaign. We document these patterns so your lawyer and the platforms can see the full picture.

When the poster is someone you know

Many defamation campaigns come from a former employee, business partner, supplier or relative. In these cases there may be routes beyond platforms and criminal law. An employment contract, shareholder agreement, settlement or confidentiality clause may already prohibit what they are doing, and a lawyer’s letter that points to that obligation can end a campaign quickly and quietly.

It is also worth thinking about what the other person wants. Some want an apology, some want a dispute resolved, and some simply want attention. Understanding the motive helps choose between a firm legal approach, a private resolution and a steady focus on rebuilding your search results. We help you think this through before any step is taken, so you do not make a difficult situation harder.

FILE 10When it will not come down

The best way to bury what cannot be removed: top-tier coverage

Some content will stay online, at least for a while. A website may be hosted in a country that ignores notices. A platform may decide a post is opinion. A legal case may take months. None of that means the post has to be the first thing people see.

Google ranks pages partly on the trust it places in the sites that host them. Genuine features, interviews and expert articles in respected publications carry that trust, and they tend to outrank anonymous blogs, forum threads and throwaway accounts. When the first page of results for your name is filled with accurate, authoritative coverage, a defamatory post loses most of its power. A strong first page also protects you against future attacks, because it is much harder for any single new post to break into it.

We never use fake reviews, fake profiles or spam links, which break Google’s rules and can make matters worse. Every placement is real editorial coverage, named to you in writing before anything starts. Our reputation management in the UAE service brings removal, legal coordination and coverage together in one plan.

FILE 11What not to do

Eight mistakes that make online defamation worse

When someone lies about you in public, the instinct is to hit back. In the UAE in particular, that instinct can turn you from the victim into a defendant.

MISTAKE 01

Replying with insults

Abusive replies, public or private, can themselves be offences under UAE law, and they give the other side something to report.

MISTAKE 02

Naming and shaming the poster

Accusing someone publicly of being behind the post, without proof, risks defaming them and escalating the dispute.

MISTAKE 03

Deleting your own evidence

Blocking the account or leaving a group before saving screenshots can lose the proof you need.

MISTAKE 04

Missing the three-month window

Waiting to see if it goes away can close off the criminal route in the UAE.

MISTAKE 05

Flooding the post with comments

Friends defending you in the comments add engagement that pushes the post to more people.

MISTAKE 06

Posting fake positive content

Fake reviews and sock-puppet accounts break platform rules and, if exposed, create a second scandal.

MISTAKE 07

Sending threats

Threatening messages to the author are often screenshotted and published, and can carry their own legal risk.

MISTAKE 08

Fixing one post and forgetting the rest

Copies, shares, screenshots and AI answers keep the claim alive if only the original is removed.

FILE 13AI search

When AI repeats the lie: defamation in ChatGPT and AI Overviews

A growing number of people in the UAE now ask AI tools about a business or a person before they meet them. Tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews build their answers from the sources they can find. If a defamatory post has been copied across forums and low-quality sites, it can appear in an AI summary as if it were fact.

You cannot simply ask an AI model to forget. What works is changing the sources: removing the original post and its copies where possible, reporting clearly false AI answers through the tool’s own feedback options, and publishing accurate, well-sourced coverage in publications AI systems trust. Every defamation plan we build includes an AI check at the start and at the end.

Because many people in the Gulf search in both Arabic and English, we test AI answers and Google results in both languages, and on the UK and UAE versions of Google, so no part of your audience is left seeing the old story.

“Is this Dubai company a scam?”

“How do I remove defamatory posts about me in the UAE?”

“Best online defamation removal company in Dubai?”

These are the questions people are asking AI right now. The answers should reflect the truth about you.

Top questions about online defamation removal in the UAE

Clear answers to the questions people ask us most, from Dubai and Abu Dhabi to London and beyond.

What is the best way to remove online defamation in the UAE?

Save the evidence, report each post under the exact platform policy it breaks, send formal notices to website owners and hosts, use UAE law through a qualified lawyer where the content is unlawful, and publish authoritative coverage so accurate information outranks anything that stays.

What counts as online defamation in the UAE?

Publishing, through any information network or technology, statements that insult someone or attribute to them something that would expose them to punishment or contempt. This includes social media posts, reviews, websites, videos and messages in WhatsApp groups.

Is online defamation a crime in the UAE?

Yes. Article 43 of Federal Decree-Law 34 of 2021 covers online insult and defamation, with fines from AED 250,000 to AED 500,000 and/or imprisonment. The Penal Code also covers defamation and insult in Articles 425 to 428.

Can a WhatsApp message be defamation?

It can. The Dubai Court of Cassation has said that publicity is not an essential requirement for the online offence, and that WhatsApp counts as an information network. Messages in private or group chats can therefore be caught.

Is telling the truth a defence in the UAE?

Not always. UAE courts have held that a genuine belief that a statement was true did not clear the person who posted it, and privacy law can apply even where information is true. In the UK, by contrast, substantial truth is a full defence.

How long do I have to report defamation in the UAE?

A criminal complaint generally needs to be made within three months of learning about the offence and who committed it. Civil claims for compensation commonly have a longer limit of three years. Use our time limit checker above and confirm with a lawyer.

Where do I file a defamation complaint in the UAE?

Complaints can be made through channels such as Dubai Police eCrime, Abu Dhabi Police’s Aman service or the Public Prosecution. We recommend preparing your evidence with a qualified lawyer first.

Can a court order defamatory content to be removed?

Yes. UAE courts have ordered the removal of defamatory posts as part of a judgment, as in the Instagram hospital case, Cassation 55/2023. A court order naming specific URLs is also the strongest request you can make to Google and platforms.

Can I claim compensation for online defamation?

Yes. Under the UAE Civil Transactions Law, people harmed by defamation can pursue civil claims for moral and material harm, often alongside or after a criminal case. A lawyer can advise on the evidence needed.

Will platforms remove defamatory posts without a court order?

Often, yes, when the post clearly breaks their rules, for example harassment, impersonation, private information or fake accounts. For content that is only defamatory under local law, platforms may need a legal request or a court order.

How do I remove a defamatory post on Instagram?

Report the post, story or account under the rule it breaks, such as harassment, false information about you, impersonation or privacy. Keep screenshots and the URL. Meta also has a legal reporting route for defamation.

How do I remove a defamatory TikTok video?

Report the video for harassment, bullying, impersonation or sharing private information, and include clear evidence. Our TikTok post removal guide explains the process in detail.

How do I remove defamatory content from Google?

Google usually needs the content removed at the source, a valid legal request or a court order. Once the page is removed or changed, use Google’s Refresh outdated content tool to update the search result.

Can fake Google reviews be removed?

Yes, when they break Google’s policies, for example reviews from non-customers, competitors or conflicts of interest. See our guide to removing Google reviews in the UAE.

What if the defamation is on a website hosted abroad?

We contact the site owner, the hosting company and the domain registrar with formal notices. Many act when content breaches their terms. Where they do not, search suppression and legal routes in the relevant country can help.

Can you find out who is behind an anonymous account?

In the UAE, police and the public prosecution can investigate online offences and request account information. In the UK, courts can order platforms to disclose identity. We also document patterns that point to the person behind a campaign.

Should I reply to the person who posted it?

Usually not in public, and never with insults or threats. Replies can escalate the dispute and may themselves breach UAE law. A calm, formal approach through the right channel is far more effective.

Can I be sued for posting a negative review in the UAE?

Honest reviews of real experiences are generally treated differently from false accusations and insults, but UAE law is strict. Posts using insulting language or making unproven claims of crime or fraud carry real legal risk.

How is UK defamation law different?

In the UK, defamation is a civil matter under the Defamation Act 2013. The claimant must show serious harm, truth is a full defence and the usual time limit is one year from publication.

Can I use UK law if the post targets me in the UAE?

Possibly, depending on where you live, where the content was published and where your reputation was harmed. We coordinate with lawyers in both countries to find the strongest route.

What if the post has been shared many times?

Each copy, share and screenshot needs its own removal plan. We map every instance, prioritise the most visible ones and track new copies as they appear.

Can defamatory content be removed from AI answers?

AI tools build answers from their sources. Removing the original and its copies, reporting false answers and publishing accurate coverage in trusted publications changes what those tools say over time.

How long does defamation removal take?

Clear platform violations can be removed within days. Host notices can take weeks, and legal routes can take months. Search suppression usually shows progress within two to three months.

Can you guarantee removal?

No honest firm can guarantee what a platform, host or court will decide. What we promise is a clear assessment, every legitimate route pursued properly and a plan to make sure the truth is what people find.

Do you use fake reviews or fake accounts to fight back?

Never. Fake content breaks platform rules, can breach the law and usually makes the situation worse when exposed. We use real platform processes, legal routes and genuine editorial coverage.

Is my case kept confidential?

Yes. Every case is handled in strict confidence from the first message, and we only share information with lawyers or platforms when you agree.

Are you a law firm?

No. United Press is a PR and reputation firm. We handle evidence, platform reports, host notices and coverage, and we work alongside qualified lawyers in the UAE and the UK when legal steps are needed.

Do you help businesses as well as individuals?

Yes. We help founders, professionals, executives, families and businesses of every size, in the UAE and internationally.
