@daidatec: What exactly is an IP address, and why does the internet need one? This video breaks down how IP addresses work, where they come from, how your ISP uses them, why they can change, and why having someone’s IP address does not automatically mean knowing exactly who they are. We also explain how IP addresses can still become useful when combined with records from Internet Service Providers and online platforms. The conversation around this recently came up after President John Mahama spoke about tracing people online using IP addresses. #IPAddress #Cybersecurity #InternetPrivacy #TechTok #GhanaTech

an IP address can sometimes be used to locate or identify the general network someone is using, but it usually cannot pinpoint their exact home or physical location by itself. worsen if the person uses VPN then it ends there, you can't track them. This video is useful and the person behind the video is great 👍👍

what the creator of this video is simply saying is that "the government can track you using other means but not IP addresses"

bro, with your IP address they can find you ... all the president is saying is that your ip address alone is enough to start diging information about you, all can start from your isp and if you're a person of interest, a legal order from the government will tak e just a few days.....minitues kroaa mpo... the same urgency that'll be given to Ghana is the Same that'll be given to China... this is the governemnt we're talking about and not some company

I was really disappointed with this part of the presentation where it was mentioned that "devices on the same network may have the same IP address." That is incorrect. If the same IP address is assigned to multiple devices on the same network, it will definitely result in an IP address conflict.

But do you know your ISP knows your IP address and they can hand it to government when they are compeled to disclose it?

Bro your ip address and imei move hand in hand your imei holds every data about your phone. Ip address and MAC address are two different things. There are a lot to cybersecurity don’t underestimate the cybersecurity in Ghana

All they need is to get a court order or send a legal request to the platform and they will get the metadata of the post, most times the gps location of the individual can be in the metadata of the post. Times where the gps location is not in the metadata, the platform can give them the ip address and they can get a court order to send the ip address to the telecom company to map the specific details of the individual with that ip address and they can now locate the person by checking their last connection to a cellular tower and the signal strength to determine the exact radius the person is in
