Poland is actively developing its cybersecurity capabilities by cooperating with the United States and investing in domestic facilities and staff. The creation of the Center for the Fight against Disinformation is a response to the growing threats related to disinformation, especially in the context of information activities carried out by foreign entities, including Russia. The initiative is part of a broader trend of European countries looking for effective tools against information manipulation.
Krzysztof Gawkowski announced the creation of the Center for Combating Disinformation during the 8th Cybersecurity Forum in Warsaw, organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Digitization.
As he said, Prime Minister Donald Tusk signed the order on this matter on Tuesday.
In Poland, we will have - as the first in Europe - one common center to fight disinformation, said Gawkowski.
According to the minister, the new unit is to provide the state with operational support and prepare a framework for actions against disinformation. There are also plans to develop a document showing the sources of threats and the actions taken by Poland in response to them.
Messages and recommendations for the administration
The Center's tasks will include creating and publishing messages regarding identified disinformation activities. A special website is also to be created on which the institution will refer to the most frequently disseminated narratives.
The center will also prepare information and recommendations for public administration on counteracting and combating disinformation.
The strategy is to be submitted for consultation
Paweł Olszewski announced that a draft strategy for combating disinformation has been prepared. The document is to be consulted, among others: with social organizations.
The deputy minister emphasized that the project puts civil liberties first. He also emphasized that - in his opinion - freedom of speech does not mean consent to hate speech or the dissemination of Russian propaganda.
Olszewski also announced that he would publicly identify people and groups who – in his opinion – repeat narratives harmful to state security. Among them, he mentioned Grzegorz Braun and his environment and the Materat Brothers.
Krzysztof Gawkowski also assessed that Poland is currently one of the five best-rated strategic partners in the world in the field of cybersecurity. He pointed to cooperation with the United States and the development of domestic resources and staff in this field.
