What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Ordonnance n°0011/PR/2026 bans outright, whatever their place of creation, four categories of AI-generated content circulated on a social network or digital platform in Gabon: a realistic deepfake depicting an identifiable person in a sexual situation without their express consent, a deepfake of a public or private figure attributing false statements or conduct to them capable of causing serious harm to public order, national security, or personal dignity, a representation of a sexual situation involving a minor by any technical method, and an imitation of a Gabonese state institution's visual or audio identity for disinformation.
Content falling into these categories can be referred immediately to the emergency-relief judge, whose territorial competence is both domestic and extraterritorial and who may order a temporary suspension of an account or content, a targeted de-referencing, publication of a correction, or the forced insertion of an origin marking on the AI-generated content.
An identifiable person depicted without consent in AI-generated content published on a social network or platform separately has a right to report it and have the editor or host remove it within twenty-four hours of the report.
