Poland: promising start as new government meets with RSF about the right to information
Reporters Without Borders engaged Polish officials to strengthen press freedom, addressing border access restrictions and public media independence. This dialogue highlights the critical intersection between domestic policy and global open data transparency, as unrestricted information flow relies on robust legal protections for journalists against state censorship. The organization also urged Poland to leverage its EU Presidency to enhance European cooperation against cyber-harassment and surveillance. By promoting coordinated efforts to protect exiled reporters and counter disinformation, Poland can help establish standardized frameworks for data access and safety across borders. These discussions aim to transform commitments into concrete actions, ensuring that open data ecosystems remain secure and accessible. The focus on countering propaganda and improving safety underscores the necessity of protecting the informational integrity essential for functioning democratic societies and transparent governance.
