Eritrea
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Eritrea has no specific data protection law, no data protection authority, and no formally published comprehensive cybercrime statute accessible through international legal databases. Internet penetration is among the lowest in the world; the state controls the sole ISP (EriTel). Some sources cite a Telecommunications Proclamation No. 23/2017 and a Cybercrime Proclamation No. 125/2019, but these are not accessible in authenticated English texts and secondary-source accounts conflict on whether a dedicated cybercrime act is fully in force. Web scraping is wholly unaddressed in any publicly known legal instrument. Confidence low: highly opaque legal environment, extremely limited internet access, no enforcement infrastructure for digital matters, and primary sources are inaccessible.
