"I have the impression that we are entering a higher level of hate speech, which is driven by algorithms, and that turning a blind eye or ignoring this today... is a mistake that may cost humanity in the future," Poland's digitisation minister said.

Then added: "The Ministry of Digitisation will react in accordance with current regulations, we will report the violation to the European Commission to investigate and possibly impose a fine on X. Freedom of speech belongs to humans, not to artificial intelligence."

The country's digital affairs ministry raised concerns about growing algorithm-driven hate speech, citing recent incidents that also drew criticism from users. As other nations, like Turkey, have already taken action, Poland now seeks regulatory oversight at the EU level.
