Polish minister threatens fines as social platforms ignore disinformation reports

NASK reported that over 76% of flagged disinformation content on social media received no response in H1 2026, a fourfold increase from the prior year. Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski announced high penalties, signaling a regulatory escalation in Poland's fight against online disinformation. The effectiveness of enforcement remains uncertain, but the move could set a precedent for EU digital regulation.
