Ministry of Justice Released New Privacy Guidelines For Social Media Users in Qatar
The Ministry of Justice in Qatar just introduced a major update to its public privacy law, and it’s something every resident, visitor, and content creator needs to be aware of. As of last Monday, August 4, posting photos or videos of people in public without their consent is officially a criminal offense with serious consequences.
The law applies across all digital platforms and in all public places. So whether you’re sharing a story from the park, recording in a café, or snapping content on the Corniche, you must get permission first. If not, you could face up to 1 year in jail, a QR100,000 fine, or even both.
What This Means for Content Creators
This law isn’t just about protecting privacy, it’s also about encouraging respect and responsibility online. The rise in social media use has blurred the lines between public and private life, and this update sets clear boundaries.
If you’re a content creator, vlogger, or just someone who loves documenting daily life in Qatar, it’s now more important than ever to ask for consent before featuring people in your content. It’s a move that aims to make Qatar’s digital space safer and more respectful for everyone.
