CSA warns graduates against indecent social media posts
The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has warned recent high school graduates to be careful about what they post on social media.
In a statement issued in Accra on September 25, the Authority said it had observed an increasing number of indecent and irresponsible posts by some graduates.
These include offensive remarks such as “we go scatter them” and comments about “snatching people’s husbands,” which have attracted wide public attention.
The CSA reminded young people that social media is a powerful tool for expression and networking but also carries serious responsibilities and long-term consequences.
It noted that online posts form part of a person’s permanent digital record, which universities, scholarship boards and potential employers often review when making decisions.
According to the Authority, irresponsible content can damage a person’s academic, career and professional prospects. It also warned that such behaviour could expose young people to cyberbullying, harassment, grooming and other dangers.
In some cases, the conduct may even break Ghana’s cybercrime laws under the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038) and the Electronic Communications Act.
The CSA urged graduates to use social media responsibly by sharing content that promotes personal development, creativity, entrepreneurship and positive networking.
It stressed the need for young people to think carefully before posting online and to avoid indecent, harmful or insulting content.
The Authority said it will continue to work with the Ministry of Education, civil society groups and community leaders to increase awareness about safe and responsible behaviour online.

Minority Spokesperson on Parliament’s Economy and Development Committee, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has voiced confidence in the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, stating that Ghanaians will come to appreciate his ideas ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He argued that political cycles often change public perception, adding that policies which may not be fully understood at first can gain support over time.
He pointed to Dr Bawumia’s advocacy for the gold purchase programme, describing it as one of several ideas that have gained recognition.
According to him, some of Dr Bawumia’s proposals have been acknowledged by the government as effective, while others are yet to be implemented.
He cited the proposed introduction of a national credit system as an example, noting that credit-based purchasing could stimulate demand, improve living standards, and drive productivity in the economy.
Responding to concerns about current economic difficulties and public dissatisfaction among some groups, Oppong Nkrumah maintained that time would shape voter judgment.
He stated that while the party got some decisions right and others wrong during its time in office, lessons had been learned.
He expressed hope that Ghanaians would eventually give Dr Bawumia and the NPP another opportunity, adding that he believes the flagbearer would deliver to the satisfaction of the public.
