Social media abusers must face legal Consequences -Samuel Kwame Adomako.

The idea of abusive people on social media in Ghana paying data costs as a form of penalty is not currently a standard practice or law in Ghana.

However, there are discussions about addressing online abuse and misuse of social media platforms, with proposals including increased regulation of social media platforms, digital literacy campaigns, and potential legal consequences for harmful content.

The Cyber Security Act, 2020, provides some legal recourse for online abuse, but it doesn’t specifically target data costs as a penalty.

With this, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Narrowlite International Company limited Samuel Kwame Adomako, has called for stricter regulation of social media platforms to curb the spread of harmful content and hold them accountable for user behavior.

He suggest that individuals engaging in online abuse should face legal consequences, potentially including fines or even imprisonment, depending on the severity of the offense.

Implementing and enforcing any penalties, including data costs, would require robust monitoring and tracking of user activity, which presents logistical and privacy challenges. He said.

The Minister of Communications should instructs the National Communications authority to act on this matter and all social media abusers must pay extra data cost. He appealed.
