Poland is at odds with the EU bureaucracy over a bunch of things, and 'Freedom of Expression' is definitely a populist issue a lot of people can feasibly rally behind.
Whatever the reality is, the optics are good.
It puts the EU in a position of having to 'defend censorship' (or at least detractors could say as much).
I do not think that is the case. 'Free speech' is not new topic in EU, but most people who are talking about it are neo-nazis.
This proposal is obviously dictature of free speech.
"This proposal is obviously dictature of free speech. "
? That seems pretty 'newspeak' to me.
They are making it so that anyone can post anything unless it's literally against the laws.
And somehow this is 'authoritarian' or 'dicature'?
Because it seems just the opposite.
My point was, they're going to put the EU in an awkward position with this - just as you've put yourself in a little bit of an awkward position by trying to imply that 'freedom of expression' is 'dictature'.
Now - I don't really like these guys one bit - but - the law seems at least superficially very reasonable.
We're all super suspicious because this came from 'the bad guys' - fair enough, but it is what it is.
There's grey area there for sure, but it's not authoritarian.
