“The President of the Personal Data Protection Office found a serious violation of Omena’s honor and dignity and a lack of respect for her private and family life. As the President rightly pointed out, advertisements that reproduce such drastic information as that concerning beatings, detention and even death can have serious consequences for the life and mental health of Omena and other people. Therefore, the President of the Office for the Protection of Personal Data has concluded that this situation requires urgent measures and actions,” the businessman’s entry reads. “The Polish authority has stood by the wronged and defined the direction we should follow,” noted the founder of InPost.
As Rafał Brzoska stressed: “We continue to fight against the feeling of impunity of people who think they are anonymous. Today we have demonstrated that we can effectively combat this problem, and large platforms can be held responsible for the ads they accept for display on their portals.”.
