What it requires

  • Do not circulate a realistic deepfake depicting an identifiable person in a sexual situation without their express consent.
  • Do not circulate 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.
  • Do not circulate AI-generated content depicting a sexual situation involving a minor, by any technical method.
  • Do not imitate a Gabonese state institution's visual or audio identity for disinformation purposes.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

Our reading of where this law's duties sit in each framework. It never says that running a control meets the law. How we read a framework against the law

Settledness

As of
Open questions
Does "Sont notamment interdits" ("are notably prohibited") in article 32 leave room to treat AI-generated content outside the four listed categories as prohibited, or do the four categories mark the whole prohibition?

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Articles 32 and 33 ban outright four categories of AI-generated content and give an identifiable person a right to report unconsented content and demand its removal within twenty-four hours; neither article states a duty to create, keep, or produce a log or record of anything. Article 53's separate origin-metadata preservation duty is a different provision of the ordinance.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

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.
