Poland Set To Outlaw Arbitrary Social Media Bans and Post Removals

Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro is working on a draft law that might create an anti-censorship regime for social media platforms operating in Poland. Failing to reinstate legal posts despite formal judicial review could carry hefty fines between 50,000 and 50 million Zloty (currently around $13,300 and $13.3 million). br br After the platform does not respond positively to the users complaint, he can digitally file a 'court petition' which leads to a legal review of his post. If the judge upholds the legality of the post and the platform does not react, the case will go to a newly created 'free speech council' that has the power to mete out the penalties.
