Undefined Algorithmic Liability Barrier

Section 18(4) excludes "algorithmically generated information" from safe harbor protections for internet intermediaries, creating liability exposure for platforms using AI or algorithmic systems. The term is undefined—leaving platforms uncertain whether it covers AI-generated content only, or also algorithmic curation, search rankings, and recommendation feeds. Combined with 19's broad definition of false information, this creates impossible compliance burdens: platforms cannot realistically verify every algorithmically processed piece of content against truth standards. This diverges from international norms (EU DSA, US Section 230) and creates disproportionate barriers for startups and smaller platforms lacking extensive compliance resources, potentially deterring digital business investment in Ghana.
