Guinea-Bissau

National jurisdiction · as of 2026-09-07

Guinea-Bissau has no adult-content age-verification law, social-media minor-access restriction, app-store age-verification requirement, or age-appropriate design code binding a private service, exhibitor, or distributor.

Lei n.º 5/2010 de 27 de Maio (Lei de Base das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação), read in full, imposes no age-gating or access-control duty: its Internet-governance article addresses only domain-name administration, ICANN dispute procedures, and network security, and the law's own definition of a telecommunications service expressly excludes the provision of content, so it does not reach a content publisher or platform at all.

The 1993 Penal Code (Decreto-Lei n.º 4/93) contains general criminal offenses, but even a provision addressing the sexual exploitation of minors there would be a general criminal offense rather than a gating or access-control duty binding a private service, which this topic does not register as an age instrument regardless.
