Fidesz MP Andrea Gyurákovics announced on her social media page that Facebook has removed the Ferencváros (9th District in Budapest) Fidesz page, reports Magyar Nemzet.
The politician did not let the incident pass without comment, writing the following in her post:
Facebook’s censorship department has already started the 2024 election campaign, the first victim of which is the Ferencváros Fidesz Facebook page…
I wonder whose interest it was?” – asked the MP.
“Even if they try, we will not give up!” the MP concluded her post.
Week after week, new stories emerge about similar banned contents or pages. Recently, the American social media giant removed a decades-old weekly magazine, Hetek (Weeks), from its platform and earlier, the conservative Ma7 (Hungarian language Slovak news portal) has been shut down without any relevant or credible reason or explanation.
Hungary Today has been facing a similar issue as our Facebook page is under a shadow ban, and our content is heavily restricted. With these bans, the tech giant is not only limiting the freedom of speech of the press, but also that of its readers.
