Legal Penalties for Online Impersonation
The Egyptian Law for Combating Information Technology Crimes addresses the penalties for impersonating individuals or entities through electronic means. It stipulates that anyone who creates accounts or websites falsely claiming to represent a natural or legal person shall be punished with imprisonment for a period of no less than three months and a fine ranging between 10,000 and 30,000 Egyptian pounds. The penalty is doubled if the impersonated account is used to offend or cause harm, with sentences reaching up to one year of imprisonment and a fine between 50,000 and 200,000 pounds. Particularly when the crime targets public figures or government entities, the punishment can escalate to imprisonment along with a fine of up to 300,000 pounds. These legislations aim to protect digital identity and prevent the misuse of fake accounts for defamation or misinformation.
