Poland has formally requested that the European Commission impose a 250 million euro fine on Meta Platforms for failing to comply with the Digital Services Act. A study by CERT Polska found that Meta removed only 13 of 122 flagged fraudulent ads, leaving 86.8 percent of known scam content live on its platforms. Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski described Meta’s advertising environment as a « Wild West » for scammers. A Warsaw appellate court ruled in February 2026 that Meta operates as an active participant in its advertising ecosystem, significantly reducing its legal liability protections. Under the DSA, the European Commission can impose fines of up to 6 percent of a company’s global annual revenue.
