Data journalist Maxwell Mensah has stated that political discussions on social media are becoming more abusive and untruthful. He believes this trend is growing rapidly.
Mensah, who leads the Data and Investigations Desk at the Tobinco Group, issued a call for this behavior to stop immediately. He expressed serious concerns about its impact.
He warned that the increasing spread of misinformation and personal attacks online could harm Ghana's democracy. This could make people less likely to trust information and each other.
The journalist highlighted that this development poses a threat to healthy public debate in the country.
