Dubai Police used Cybersecurity Awareness Month to remind parents and guardians of the risks of sharing children’s photographs on social media, warning that even casual images can carry more information than most people intend to disclose.
In a post on X, the force said photos of children can reveal their school, location, and daily routines to anyone with access to them. It also flagged that such images can be saved, reused, or altered using AI tools without the poster’s knowledge or consent.
Dubai Police advised residents to check their privacy settings before sharing, avoid including identifying details in images, and restrict what they post to people they genuinely trust.
