You're right Harry but what you, and the cyber police of the UAE (and Emirates) don't seem to grasp is that once it is on the internet it is there for ever- there is no getting it back or deleting it.
I'm sure EK and the GCAA would love the "problem" to just un-happen and go away but it isn't going to and they need to stop trying to close the stable door when the horse is already in the next state and work with realities. You can not play down or try and cover up any incident in a public place in the 21st century.
