And to go further, Facebook has an office in Dubai. [0] Are you telling me if language was not a barrier, they could not find a single Arabic-speaking employee? They could even save money on the collect calls, if Facebook was not an option.

And hats off to Khaled. Hebron is not a fun place to grow up, and making it that far, a B.S. that is, is an accomplishment. I grew up with far more privilege and I am still not smart enough to come up with Facebook exploits.

Primary reason for Dubai office - 0% taxes

Yes, right. The security team will ask the management to locate an Arabic speaking employee to handle a cryptic email, and do so for every email! That will surely scale. And employees love handling email exceptionally well.
