The proposal, announced by Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation Sam Nartey George, could require users to provide a national ID card or driver’s license before accessing adult content online, reflecting a growing global shift toward identity-linked age assurance systems. Even before the policy is introduced in Ghana, concerns have emerged around digital surveillance and data privacy, according to commentary published by Modern Ghana. Similar debates have emerged elsewhere as digital rights advocates argue governments must establish clear accountability and privacy safeguards around age assurance systems. Poland is one of the latest countries to adopt an age verification policy. In Africa, at least seven countries have either already enforced age verification requirements, drafted regulation, or launched consultations on possible implementation.
