How many countries are going after big techs censorship? Lots so far with more to come. What is our Congress doing? Nothing. Makes me wonder who they work for. Certainly not the voters.
New legislation introduced in Poland would fine Big Tech companies up to $13.5 million if they illegally censored Polish citizens.
The law, introduced by Poland’s ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS), would focus on protection their citizens from political over-reach by Big Tech organisations, preventing any users in the country from having their accounts or posts blocked and removed if the motive for doing so was political.
A “Free Speech Council” would be set up by the government, where users who feel they were unfairly censored by Big Tech companies could appeal, and if the council found that the posts in question had not broken any Polish law, then the company would be subject to a fine of 50 million zlotys, equivalent to $13.5 million.
