What's going on
Freedom House rates Ghana's internet Partly Free (64/100 in Freedom on the Net 2025) and found no blocking of social media, websites or networks. The main risk is legal: an opposition activist was arrested in May 2025 over posts about the chief justice, and a blogger was jailed for a month in 2024 for publishing false news.
