Polish President Karol Nawrocki has vetoed a law that was intended to implement the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) in the country. The document was prepared by Poland’s Ministry of Digitalisation, Polsat News reports.
The president could have signed the law, referred it to the Constitutional Tribunal, or exercised his right of veto. Nawrocki chose the latter option. In mid-October, he said that he would sign the DSA law if a document that “would not violate freedom and would not block freedom online” was submitted for his consideration.
The amendments to the law on the provision of electronic services provided for the introduction of a procedure for promptly issuing orders to restrict access to internet content that violates the law.
