More specifically, the bill on the protection of the freedom of social networking users needs to be clarified. And if we're going to write plainly – it's fit to be thrown into the basket, and experts come to mind how one can even think about dealing with such a poor (here again euphemism) law.
The Act on the Protection of Freedom of Speech on Internet Social Webs instead of protecting freedom of speech makes them dependent on a public administration body that has no basic tools to determine what hatred is on the Internet, because this concept does not exist in Polish law
Here is to manage the content space on the Internet has the Freedom of Word Council (RWS). one from the records that concern her may already suggest to us who will be sitting in it from the commission of the authors of the bill.
The Council cannot be composed of a Member, Senator, Member of the European Parliament, as well as a councillor, mayor (Mayor, Mayor of the City), deputy mayor (Mayor, City President), gmina secretary, gmina treasurer, county board member, county secretary, county treasurer, board member, voivodship treasurer and voivodship secretary.
If this provision is to guarantee the independence of the Council, there are few names of positions, such as the members of the Council of Ministers. Members of the Council will have a long-term position, as there is no mention in the Act that they cannot repeat their six-year term of office.
So taxpayers can keep another official whose work is actually completely useless and sometimes ridiculous. Because what will the Council do? Applications that can be anonymous, and freedom of speech will be the least. And if the case comes up, the RWS will be sitting in classified sittings, which seems to be a fashion in recent years.
If a post or a comment is contrary to Polish law, it will be able to impose a fine of 50,000 PLN to 50,000,000.
The Act on the Protection of Freedom of Speech on Internet Social Webs instead of protecting freedom of speech makes them dependent on a public administration body, which does not have basic tools to determine what hate speech is on the Internet, because this concept does not exist in Polish law.
The Council – the censors will determine which content is against Polish law, while observing the trends that accompany us, will work closely with the prosecutor.
At the same time, the Act completely omits the essence of social networking sites, which is social interaction, community creation, and seems to be oriented towards specific services, because, as we read in the Act, whenever the act mentions an online social networking website, it means a service provided electronically in the sense of Act dated 18 July 2002 on the provision of electronic services which enables users to make any content available to other users or to the general public used in the country at least one million registered users.
Thus smaller services such as those having 70,000 users: https://informatykzakladowy.pl/analiza-popularnosci-serwisu-albicla/ They won't enjoy interacting with Big Brother.
Moreover, what he points to Polish Confederation Lewiatan, it is incompatible with the EU e-commerce directive, it will make it difficult to establish a single European digital market, and although we are already getting more and more accustomed to the fact that the following rules are withdrawing us from EU law, it is worth keeping in mind that the habit is putting us to sleep.
