Archbishop Agyinasare calls for responsible speech amid growing social media abuse

He also condemned the growing acceptance of abusive language and vulgarity in public discourse, saying citizens could demand accountability and expose corruption without attacking the dignity of others.

He noted that the widespread use of smartphones and digital platforms had democratised broadcasting but had also increased the risk of spreading falsehoods, damaging reputations and deepening abusive public discourse.

He urged Ghanaians to harness their digital influence responsibly by using their platforms to promote truth, elevate public discourse and contribute to a more respectful society.
