Minister for Communications and Digital Technology, Sam George, has disclosed that he has called on social media platform TikTok to provide fair compensation to Ghanaian content creators.
Speaking at the Government Accountability Series on Friday, August 1, the Minister said the recommendation followed a recent meeting with officials from TikTok aimed at fostering a safe and thriving digital economy in Ghana.
“During the meeting, I urged TikTok to ensure fair compensation to Ghanaian content creators. I also proposed the establishment of a local moderation and content governance team to reflect Ghana’s values, protect our user rights, and support national regulatory expectations,” he announced.
He revealed that the Ministry is also working with TikTok to roll out a capacity-building initiative for Ghanaian content creators.
“I’m looking forward to the TikTok partnership with the ministry to provide capacity building for our content creators in the country on how best to monetise that platform for the benefit of Ghanaian content creators. That should happen in the 4th quarter of this year [2025],” he said.
