Poland's government has proposed a new law to stop social media platforms deleting content or banning users who do not break Polish laws.

The proposed bill would see social networks fined up to 50 million zloty (£9.8m, $13.4m) for failing to restore deleted posts or accounts.



quote:

Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro announced the "freedom of speech protection" bill on Friday.



quote:

The council would be able to order social networks such as Facebook or Twitter to restore deleted content, or unblock a user's account following a review, Mr Ziobro said.



quote:

Social media users in Poland who had been blocked or had content deleted would be able to complain directly to the platform, which would have to respond within 24 hours.



quote:

If a social media company refused to comply with an order, the council would be able to issue a fine of between 50,000 and 50 million zloty.

Poland, the most religious and Catholic country in Europe, is most likely going to end up saving the world.

The Polish have been trod under the boot of both fascism and Communism before. They don't mess around when it comes to upholding freedom.

I was about to say, it's a sad, sad state of affairs when the US is no longer the leader of the free world.

You can add Uganda to the list of countries that value freedom more than the US does.
