Președintele Poloniei a blocat legea care permitea autorităților să cenzureze conținutul ilegal de pe internet

Poland's President Karol Nawrocki vetoed a law allowing authorities to censor illegal online content, citing excessive powers over free speech. This marks his second rejection of legislation aimed at implementing the EU's Digital Services Act. Nawrocki emphasized that only independent courts should determine legality, not officials. The law, passed by the Sejm, aimed to block harmful online content following recent violent incidents in schools. Critics argue the veto permits hate speech, while the government insists on the need for regulatory tools. Nawrocki accused the government of exploiting tragedies for political gain, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk defended the law as essential for child protection.
