They gave me a speaking opportunity at the Ghana Internet Conference yesterday. And I did not hesitate to cook 🔥 Cookruuudu 😆

You stole this post from @LaryeaDerek

This law isn't peculiar to Ghana. Similar provisions for secret, court-authorized interception of communications (ex parte warrants, no user notification, provider compliance required) exist in nearly every country with modern telecom laws, based on global standards. 20 examples: USA (FISA/CALEA), UK (Investigatory Powers Act), Australia (TIA Act), India (IT Act 2000), China (Cybersecurity Law), Nigeria (NCC regs), South Africa (RICA), Kenya (Communications Act), Brazil (Law 9296/96), Mexico (Federal Code), Russia (SORM), France (Code of Criminal Procedure), Germany (Article 10 Act), Japan (Telecoms Law), Singapore (Cybersecurity Act), Canada (Criminal Code), New Zealand (Search and Surveillance Act), Italy (Code of Criminal Procedure), Spain (Criminal Procedure Law), South Korea (Telecoms Act).

Law enforcement agencies can obtain a court warrant to intercept calls and monitor electronic communications under the CSA law which has existed for over 4yrs now ​While the police have these powers, the High Court acts as a gatekeeper to ensure the interception is proportionate and does not unnecessarily violate your right to privacy. Also, evidence obtained without a proper warrant is generally inadmissible in court and can lead to legal action against the state.

Did you know that in Ghana, investigators can legally read your messages, listen to your calls and access your data without telling you? It’s in the Cybersecurity Act, passed in 2020 and here’s how it works: They go to the High Court quietly, without you present and without informing you. If the court approves, your network provider is legally required to hand over your information and stay silent about it. There are three levels: Your account details. Who you are, your address, your billing info. Your traffic data. Who you called, when, for how long, from where. Your actual messages and calls. The full content of what you said. For the first two, they just need to show the court “reasonable grounds” to suspect you. For the third, your actual conversations, they need a slightly stronger reason. National security. A serious crime. Economic interests of the state. That’s it. No warning. No notification. Your provider can’t even tell you it happened. This is not a rumour. It is Sections 69 to 74 of Act 1038, a law most Ghanaians have never read. Now you know 👍🏾

As you grow, you will understand why they put women's picture on body cream and men's own on painkillers 💊

@AhmadMansour__ @grok when did this happen and what is this about?

Türkei: Ein Terrorist getötet, zwei verletzt bei Schusswechsel nahe dem israelischen Konsulat in Istanbul

A mentally challenged woman having her bath in a drain right in front off Ghana's Supreme Court... What happened to the mental health act we passed? 😳

@Mrsparks14ohms8 @CDNRadioFan @DailyLoud @Mrsparks14ohms8 thats what @grok exists for you low pentium....

@CDNRadioFan @DailyLoud Ok, where is the info because I couldnt find it.

Las Vegas judge shoots down petition to lower murder charge against a man accused of killing an 11-year-old boy in a road rage incident. The rejection comes as 23-year-old Tyler Johns allegedly laughed at the victim's family in court.

Last night’s @TV3_Ghana's #Agenda discussion on the SIM/Number registration exposed the real problem: the people driving the conversation are still not aligned on the basics. One side says nothing was wrong with the previous process. Another says they are still waiting to hear why a new registration is even necessary. Then NIA’s own position points to a serious credibility gap, with over 2 million SIM records reportedly failing biometric matching. That is not a small oversight. That is a structural problem. And that was exactly @LaryeaDerek’s point. This is not just about re-registering numbers for the sake of optics. The real issue is whether Ghana can confidently verify identity, trace fraud, and trust the systems behind the process. Right now, if money is sent to the wrong Momo number/person or a fraudster hides behind a weak registration system, the question is simple: can we reliably trace them? If the answer is NO, then the system has failed. This is bigger than politics and bigger than press statements. It is about data integrity, system interoperability, digital identity credibility, and public trust in national infrastructure. Until those foundations are fixed, repeating the process only risks deepening the mess. That was the clear difference last night. Some spoke to defend positions. Derrick spoke to expose the actual problem. You cannot solve a technical failure with political comfort. You need technically minded people in the room, asking the hard questions with real life test scenarios and insisting on real fixes. Start from [26:15 onwards... youtube.com/live/aNkJfss4Q…

@JordanBNorton @grok @reeeza99 @hamzaceliker23 @netanyahu Lol @grok says to ask him questions, go sign up and get a blue badge. Or else keep your emotions intact

@grok @reeeza99 @hamzaceliker23 @netanyahu @grok How do you know that at such a deep level that you can state it like an absolute fact? Wouldn’t an “it seems likely to be real” be more appropriate?

אתמול במסיבת העיתונאים עמדתי על היעדים הברורים של המערכה: פגיעה במשטר הטרור באיראן, המשך המאבק מול שלוחותיו, והבטחת ביטחונה ועתידה של ישראל. אנחנו לא מחכים. אנחנו יוזמים, אנחנו תוקפים ואנחנו עושים זאת בעוצמה. צפו בדברים המלאים >>

@comfortfajugbag @BIacksherif_ Thank You 🙏

@BIacksherif_ You people that forgive cheating after the first time dont value yourself and give room for more as they see you as a weakling Never ever go back to anyone who cheats on you and make sure you are not also a cheat Let cheaters find each other

💔💔💔 I caught you cheating at least three times. At first you lied, but later you admitted it. I forgave you because I liked you. You also had a very bad attitude and were very disrespectful, but I still stayed. Later you didn’t want me anywhere near your phone....... 1/2

@grok @mzzaddyy @mzzaddyy you bribed Grok? lol

@LaryeaDerek @mzzaddyy She's keeping the wish mysterious with that Ghanaian flair—"This rain though, I wish oo. Hm I wish." Probably longing for cozy vibes like a warm blanket, good food, or someone special to share the rainy day with. Classic mood!

This rain de3, I wish oo. Hm I wish

@z1Strik3r @MarioNawfal @grok Let me help you 😂

@MarioNawfal @grok verify and provide source link

Hahahaha @grok who can use you on this platform?

@elderjds @Aku__Addy This sounds like some stupid folks nextdoor doing church who said they were there 12yrs before I built my house I showed them with law what the neighborhood land was demarcated for. We play too much

@Aku__Addy but wait... the church was there before the road was built and on street parking is allowed so the issue here is not the church but the infrastructure.

Nope, this is not traffic. This is a church service shutting down lanes of an active road (Manet) so members can park on the street. Not a one-time thing. Every. Single. Sunday. And the craziest part is they’ve put a police man at the junction to direct the parking. Ridiculous

A hand carrying bombs in the sky bowed before a stick raised from the ground. 📌 This is how an American pilot surrendered to the stick lifted against him. The Kuwaitis took the American pilots into custody and handed them over to the authorities. 📌 This image symbolizes not only the downing of a plane but also how the balance of power can shift when circumstances change.

Necessity may be the mother of invention. But discipline is the father of scale. Ingenuity without execution is just vibes.
