BOOM! Poland Will Fine Big Tech $13.5 Million Per Case For Removing Ideological Content

“Poland spent 45 years under Communism…It taught us the value of free speech”

For several years, Big Tech censorship of non-mainstream, conservative, and libertarian views has been increasing. Recently, Facebook banned Australian News and health services–among others.

“We see that when Big Tech decides to remove content for political purposes, it’s mostly content which praises traditional values or praises conservatism,” he said, “and it is deleted under their ‘hate speech policy’ when it has no legal right to do so.”

After identifying the problem, it is the financially costly solution that might end up making this so effective:

Under the new legislation, any platform that bans a user would face fines of $13.5 million unless the content is also illegal under Polish law. An arbitration committee would be set up to oversee disputes.

Tech companies had reached a point where they were deciding what was legal and what was not –, but that was not their role, Kaleta says.
