H E Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer Al Thani, Chairman of the Qatar Media Corporation, has called for con-certed efforts to confront anonymous accounts on social media networks that aim to spread discord and division among the peoples of the Gulf states.

He said on the official account of the Qatar Media Corporation on the X platform: “We have noticed what is happening on social media networks – in the Gulf – recently, from the spread of anonymous accounts, aiming to spread discord and division among the peoples of the Gulf countries, and to raise doubts about the unity of the Gulf social fabric.”

Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer explained that this comes “at a time when the path of our Gulf Council is witnessing more cohesion and solidarity, which calls on us to combine efforts and work diligently at all official and civic levels, to confront such anonymous and offensive accounts, and to work on every-thing that would enhance the path of our Gulf Council, and in a way that achieves security, stability and prosperity for our Gulf countries and peoples.”
