2026 Elections Fake News Penalties
As the legislative elections approach on September 23, 2026, Morocco has strengthened its laws to combat fake news and digital defamation through digital media. Article 51 of Organic Law No. 53.23 stipulates penalties of up to five years in prison and a fine ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 Moroccan Dirhams for anyone who publishes content that harms privacy or promotes false information with the aim of questioning the integrity of the elections. These measures come amid a rising use of artificial intelligence to produce fake content, such as manipulated recordings and videos, which threatens the fairness of the electoral process and highlights the need to distinguish between legitimate criticism and disinformation.
