Oman ministry demands digital media platforms secure licenses

Oman's Ministry of Information is reminding individuals and entities involved in digital media activities that they must obtain the necessary media licenses. This directive aligns with the nation's Media Law and its executive regulations. The ministry stressed that operating any media platform without the required authorization is a legal offense. It warned that legal actions will be taken against those who fail to comply. The initiative seeks to bring order to the media sector, improve professional conduct, and ensure adherence to national laws. To assist those needing clarification, the ministry has provided contact points within its Press and Media Licensing Department, Media Activities Department, and Artistic Works Licensing Department. These channels are available during official working hours for inquiries regarding the licensing process.
