High Severity

Unlimited Private Litigation Risk

This provision grants any private individual or entity standing to initiate misinformation proceedings against digital platforms, content creators, and online publishers. Combined with the bill's broad definition of misinformation (false information regardless of intent) and administrative adjudication by a presidentially-appointed Division, this creates significant litigation exposure for digital businesses. Startups, content platforms, and tech entrepreneurs face unpredictable legal costs and operational uncertainty, as there are no anti-SLAPP protections or mechanisms to quickly dismiss frivolous claims—chilling innovation in Ghana's digital economy.
