– What is such a pathosport and pathostreamer on the Internet should be limited when it comes to access for the youngest – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Tuesday. He added that he would talk about it with the leaders of the ruling coalition parties.
During Tuesday's press conference, the Prime Minister Donald Tusk was asked about the so-called freakfights. It's about pseudo-sports fights between celebrities and patostreamers, including: broadcast on the Internet.
– I'm not a fan of freak fights. We have many such events, I won't call them sports events, which promote brutality and vulgarity in a spectacular way. (…) It's not a nice spectacle – he replied. – There is no accounting for taste. Of course, I will not support any form of censorship. Too bad, this is the world, people watch what they want. Although I have no doubt that we are putting our children at risk, Tusk said.

Therefore – as he emphasized – we must do everything to “protect children so that they do not have any contact with this type of spectacles, because they are even worse than pornography, and no one ever thinks of questioning the ban on pornography in publicly available media.” – I believe that what constitutes pathosport and pathostreaming on the Internet should be limited when it comes to the access of the youngest to this type of spectacles – added the Prime Minister.
– However, I will also talk about it with the leaders of the ruling parties, whether the most brutal forms should not be treated in the same way as violent eroticism or alcohol advertisements, where there are certain hours – Tusk noted. He emphasized that no work is currently being carried out “because I will guard against any form of censorship for obvious reasons.” – However, I do not rule out that some idea that would limit children's access to this type of spectacles will be necessary – announced the head of government.
