JEDDAH — A criminal court in Jeddah has acquitted a well-known Snapchat and YouTube blogger of charges including publishing clips critical of a segment of Saudi society.

The Court said the defendant was criticizing a particular segment of society which was not aimed at Saudi society in general.

The court said he was exercising freedom of expression. It stressed that there is no harm in expressing one’s opinion, as it is a guaranteed right for every person, so long as he does not insult others.
