Sejm adopts bill to fight abuse in electronic communication

The Sejm has passed a law aimed at combating abuses in electronic communication, which includes measures such as email authentication. The law received overwhelming support from 447 deputies, with only one opposing. It requires telecommunications companies to prevent abuses like generating artificial traffic, smishing, CLI spoofing, and unauthorized address changes. Email service providers with a large user base or public entities must implement email authentication.

The law also introduces penalties for those engaging in electronic communication abuses. The new provisions are set to take effect within 30 days of being published in the Journal of Laws.
