Regulation
President Nawrocki vetoes Digital Services Act
President Karol Nawrocki vetoed a bill implementing the Digital Services Act (DSA) in Poland, according to Dziennik.pl. The legislation aimed to establish procedures for swiftly issuing orders to restrict access to illegal online content, including hate speech, while respecting users' rights. The veto delays the enactment of these measures, which were intended to align Poland with EU digital regulations.
Impact Technology firms and online platforms face continued ambiguity in content regulation as the DSA implementation stalls.
