On Friday, 13 November 2026, President Karol Nawrocki vetoed for the second time the amendment to the Act on the provision of electronic services, which was meant to implement the EU Digital Services Act (DSA); the first veto of a similar act came in January 2026. The President stated that the Senate "once again expanded official competences in the area of blocking content" and that it is not the role of an official to decide whether content was a crime. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski responds that, at the request of the presidential side, judicial review by the common court was written into the act, and wants the Chancellery of the President to indicate specific articles. The text of the adopted act with the Senate amendments will settle the matter: who issues a blocking order, in what cases it takes effect immediately, and what role the court plays.
