Karol Nawrocki shared his opinion on the X network, giving an assessment of the Prime Minister’s government initiative: the bill on digital services. He noted that Donald Tusk’s government, under the pretext of combating illegal content and disinformation, intends to introduce a mechanism for administrative blocking of materials. The President of Poland stated such an approach is unacceptable.

As reported, the bill on digital services will be aimed at adapting Polish legislation to the EU standards. According to the document, individuals, as well as the police, prosecutor's office and other authorities, will be able to request the blocking of content which they consider violates the law.
