Platform Accountability \u2014 eCommerce Directive Reform and Disinformation<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Sessions on platforms and content<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Online platform accountability, reform of the EU eCommerce Directive, distributors&#39; responsibility for fake news, and speech restrictions on social media were headline themes [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>A dedicated session on free speech online and its political challenges weighed regulation against freedom [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Copyright Reform and AI \u2014 Demanding Algorithmic Transparency<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Sessions on copyright and AI<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The (then-final-stage) EU copyright reform was debated for its impact on business models and access to knowledge [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Transparency of government algorithms, AI as an economic growth driver, and Web 3.0\/blockchain rounded out the technology-policy agenda [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>The closing release relayed Digital Minister Marek Zag\u00f3rski&#39;s framing that technological sovereignty should be understood broadly \u2014 through online freedoms and rights, data as currency and protective regulation, not just technology (summary of Polish-language statement) [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Education and Access \u2014 the OSE School Network and Digital Skills<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Sessions on education and regional cooperation<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connecting schools through the nationwide OSE education network and building digital skills anchored the domestic agenda [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Baltic Sea digital-region cooperation, ride-sharing technologies in urban mobility, and sustainable development with AI kept the programme close to daily life [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Sessions were designed by the 20 co-organising bodies around community priorities; 16 videos were published via Platon TV [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. What kind of meeting was this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Poland&#39;s national IGF: 250-plus people in a science museum for a one-day, 20-organisation programme on platform accountability, copyright reform and AI transparency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the biggest issue?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The EU copyright reform then reaching its endgame, and platform responsibility. Framing &#39;technological sovereignty&#39; around rights, data and regulation anticipated the DSA\/DMA era.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The session list reads like a preview of the platform-regulation agenda most countries adopted in the following years \u2014 and the OSE school-network debate is a useful comparison point for national education-connectivity programmes.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Poland IGF?
