Developments: 2. Poland has initiated several measures to address online disinformation and foreign influence operations. Initially, the city of Ruda Śląska participated in a nationwide educational campaign for the Ministry of Digital Affairs. This initiative, developed by the Warsaw Banking Institute Foundation, focused on teaching residents to recognize psychological triggers like fear and urgency used in digital manipulation. Following these educational efforts, the Polish government established the Center for Combating Disinformation (CWD) via a decree from Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Led by Deputy Minister of Digital Affairs Paweł Olszewski, the CWD acts as an advisory body to the Council of Ministers, coordinating information exchange and research between government agencies, security services, and NGOs. In conjunction with these developments, the National Research Institute (NASK) has intensified monitoring of social media to protect upcoming parliamentary elections. NASK’s efforts include identifying fake accounts impersonating political candidates and providing training for journalists and election committees. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-28: Poland establishes Center for Combating Disinformation Poland has launched the Center for Combating Disinformation (CWD) to coordinate state efforts against foreign influence and misinformation ahead of parliamentary elections. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/poland-establishes-center-for-combating-disinformation-1 ### 2026-10-19: Ruda Śląska launches disinformation awareness campaign Ruda Śląska is participating in a Polish national campaign to educate citizens on identifying online disinformation and psychological manipulation tactics. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ruda-lska-launches-disinformation-awareness-campaign --- Cite as: Poland disinformation countermeasures.
