Mandatory Government Infrastructure Deters Innovation

This provision establishes a DNS Security Operations Centre that monitors all .gh domain "resolutions, traffic, and logs" using automated or manual methods. Combined with the mandatory .gh domain requirement in 19, this forces all businesses to route their digital operations through government-controlled infrastructure with broad monitoring capabilities. The provision lacks data minimization principles, independent oversight, or privacy safeguards, creating uncertainty for digital entrepreneurs. This infrastructure lock-in and surveillance concern deters digital innovation by removing business choice in infrastructure providers and creating competitive disadvantages compared to jurisdictions with optional, competitive domain systems.
