Rules for specific sectors

News and broadcast media

MMBC Code of Conduct for media (2025), Art. 14: In force since 15 December 2025. When presenting content made with AI, state that it was made with AI; no wording or form is set.

In the API

Send markets=mv on each call to POST /v1/mark: a call that lacks what the Maldives' rules need is refused before anything is counted, and each mark gets a receipt of what it carries for each law.

What a mark for the Maldives carries, by kind of file
File	Made with AI	A deep fake (`deepfake=true`)
Picture	Watermark and Content Credentials	Watermark and Content Credentials
Clip	Watermark and Content Credentials	Watermark and Content Credentials
Song	Watermark and Content Credentials	Refused for now: a song can't carry a visible label, and spoken notices for deep fakes aren't available yet: leave "deepfake" off for songs.
