Romantic hand-holding between two men is restricted under UAE Media Council standards under Federal Decree-Law No. 55/2023 and Penal Code Article 409. Content normalizing same-sex romantic relationships is not cleared.

Federal Decree-Law No. 31 of 2021 on Crimes and Penalties, art. 409 (criminalizes consensual same-sex sexual conduct); UAE Media Council content standards under Federal Decree-Law No. 55/2023 require content to align with the country's societal values, applied by the regulator to bar media seen as promoting or normalizing same-sex relationships or LGBTQ identity

Remediate AE-ALC-01

The element runs through the whole scene, but the idea does not depend on it: put a permitted element in its place and the commercial still works. Regenerating the scene is the method most likely to hold, and it is priced accordingly; a patch is still worth trying on a shot that barely moves.

1What should change

Replace with water bottle Replace with juice carafe Remove bottle entirely

2How to do it

The element runs through the whole scene, so a patch cannot reach it: the scene has to be regenerated with the permitted element in its place.
