The Ghanaian lifestyle on TikTok is shameful. Some TikTokers in Ghana have been engaging in unacceptable vices like trading of insults, showing of sex contents, nudity, tribalism and advertising of LGBTQ. Many Ghanaians have been calling for a complete stop to the use of the app in Ghana because the dangers could be suicidal.
Minister of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has expressed his concern about the happenings on TikTok in Ghana.
“As part of efforts to promote a safe, vibrant and inclusive digital creative economy, I met with TikTok’s West African government relations team on the 26th of June. Our discussions focus on enforcing age restrictions, safeguarding minors and promoting responsible content development,” Sam George said during a press conference on Thursday,3rd July, 2025, at the Information Services Department Press Centre in Accra.
“I’m deeply concerned about some of the content on TikTok; live sex and explicit materials on TikTok are completely unacceptable, and it’s against our culture and our norms. These were parts of the conversation I held with TikTok’s team to have content moderation in the country,” he added.
“The Cybersecurity Authority is mandated to do constant surveillance of TikTok platform accounts in the country that are engaged in content that is anti-our culture and not appropriate and work with the platform operator to take down those accounts and block the owners of those accounts from operating on those platforms,” he concluded.
Sam George has urged Ghanaians to be responsible on TikTok and put a halt to showing nudity and live sex on the social media application.
