Communication Minister, Sam Nartey George, has dismissed claims that government is seeking to regulate social media. “At no point in time have we said we want to regulate social media. You must hold yourselves to the same standards that traditional media hold,” he said on JoyNews’ PM Express on September 30. That is not just going to regulate social media, it will also regulate traditional media,” he explained. Providing more context, Sam George highlighted the wide scope of work underway at the Communication Ministry, stressing that the misinformation bill is only one of several major initiatives.
