Ghana to introduce anti-misinformation law as digital regulation trend spreads across Africa
- Ghana plans to introduce legislation to combat misinformation and disinformation.
- Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George will present the bill to Parliament in the upcoming session.
- The bill aims to establish guidelines for law enforcement to address false information on digital platforms.
While the proposed legislation aims to address the pressing issue of misinformation, it is essential to ensure that it does not infringe upon free speech and civil liberties. A balanced approach that involves stakeholder engagement will be critical in achieving the intended goals without compromising democratic principles.
