Poland Warns Social Media Platforms Over Disinformation Moderation

On 21 October, Poland’s digital affairs minister warned that social media companies could face fines if they failed to respond adequately to requests concerning disinformation and fake accounts. Data cited from Poland’s NASK research institute indicated that platforms acted on fewer than 25% of more than 65,000 reported cases during the first half of 2026. A specific fine amount was not announced in the report. Media companies, communications agencies and digital platforms can explore opportunities in content verification, audience monitoring and campaign-risk management. HPC can support digital analytics and reporting workflows to help organisations measure engagement and monitor online trends; no new communications contract price was disclosed.
