A fair world wide web should be free from censorship not only [BWAH!] by the state, "but also by private companies," it adds.

And, yes, US case law enforcing Titles VII, VIII in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibiting discrimination in public accommodation, housing, and employment by race, sex, religion, age, or country of origin is irrelevant, as a matter of law, to the petition before POLAND judicial courts.
