Kuwait Warns Expats Against Sharing War-Related Content Online

KUWAIT CITY, Mar 7:  The ECCCD, Ministry of Interior Cybercrime Division in Kuwait has warned expatriates and Kuwaitis against publishing on social media or circulating content related to wars, military operations, missiles, or material that incites sectarianism or sedition.

The warning was issued by the Cybercrime Department of Kuwait, which said sharing such content constitutes a direct violation of Kuwaiti law and could lead to legal accountability for those involved.

Officials stressed that expatriates must maintain full neutrality and avoid engaging with provocative online content, particularly during sensitive regional developments.

The department said the measures are aimed at protecting national security, preserving national unity, and safeguarding the country’s social fabric, urging the public to act responsibly on social media and other digital platforms.
