Resilience Council Statement on Supporting People Harmed via Social Platforms

Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs3 September 2026

The Consultative Council for Resilience to International Disinformation at Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement on supporting persons adversely affected by activities carried out through social platforms.

The Council raises concern about inadequate oversight of paid advertising on social media — in particular the fraudulent use of public figures’ images to defraud investors — and about how limited regulation of technology platforms under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) minimises their liability for illegal activity, including fraud and disinformation. It proposes establishing a dedicated support mechanism for affected users and reiterates its call for Poland to adopt national regulations enabling full application of the DSA, stressing the importance of the notice-and-action mechanism in protecting users from scams.
