Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has announced the introduction of laws to protect freedom of speech on the internet, while denouncing Big Tech for stifling free speech on social media platforms. The action follows the banning of U.S. President Donald Trump’s accounts by the social media companies Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Morawiecki wrote on Facebook on Jan. 13 that the internet, over time, has come to be dominated by international corporations that treat people’s online activity as a source of revenue and a tool to increase their power.
