If you get it wrong
Criminal exposure note
The ordinance's general penalty provisions punish obstructing the Haute Autorité de la Communication's action and a host's or editor's failure to fight illicit content, but no criminal penalty in the stored text is scoped specifically to a failure of the labeling or detection duty itself, so criminal_exposure is left unset for this instrument.
Who enforces it
Enforcement body
Haute Autorité de la Communication (HAC)

Ordonnance n°0011/PR/2026 requires every social-network or digital-platform editor, within twelve months of the ordinance's publication (by April 2027), to deploy tools that automatically detect AI-generated content published or shared on its service according to technical standards set by other regulations, to affix a visible, clear, and permanent label to any content identified as generated or substantially modified by an AI system, accessible to the user without any further action on their part, and to preserve and hand over to the Haute Autorité de la Communication, within eight days, the origin metadata of AI-generated content that is the subject of a judicial or administrative investigation.
