I am making a public indictment of Mr. President for taking personal responsibility for every harmed child. For all the tears of mothers who will cry over children harmed on the Internet - Gawkowski said at a press conference. The minister added that "this is a dispute about whether the state can be effective and will have the tools to fight pathostreaming on the Internet."
Nawrocki once again decided to veto the bill that guaranteed Internet safety for younger and older people. Because of the president, pedophiles, blackmailers, ordinary fraudsters and haters will still be able to roam the Internet - Gawkowski emphasized. The president can veto the bill, but he will not veto the issue, he added.
"Shame and Disgrace"
All children exposed to violence and hate should know that the president did not help them, said Gawkowski. He noted that the vetoed act gave an opportunity to protect the Internet and fight criminals. He added that a presidential veto would mean that the state would not receive these tools.
This is not a censorship bill of any kind. This is an act that gave the state strong arguments against digital platforms that allowed hate, hatred and evil to spread on the Internet. The act concerned strictly defined content on the Internet, he explained.
By the way, when it comes to the president's family, the president has no doubts that the safety of his family on the Internet should be ensured, and when it comes to the safety of every family in Poland, the president leaves this family without support on the Internet. No Polish family can count on the president's support, because this veto decided that hatred, hate and evil will continue to be able to enter our homes. It's a shame and a disgrace, Gawkowski emphasized.
There will be a new law
Gawkowski announced a new act on online security at a press conference. It will certainly not be the case that anyone will give up after this veto. We're not going to give up. We will prepare another act that will ensure security on the Internet, said the Minister of Digital Affairs.
The president sided with the pathoheters. Nawrocki deserted from his constitutional obligation to ensure Poland's security, Gawkowski said. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, "the right wing does not want this bill because they are afraid that this bill will put an end once and for all to the promotion of pathetic content on the Internet, which also builds the right wing."
Deputy Minister of Digital Affairs Dariusz Standerski, who was present at the conference, admitted that "this is not a game. It is about real life, about money, about the psyche of young people, about health, about life."
