The Hungarian government “has already taken the necessary steps” and is awaiting official clarifications from Twitter, Zoltan Kovacs said. He also criticized “this brave new world” in which big tech companies “can silence those who don’t.”
A spokesman for the Hungarian government also drew attention to the published today (30/09/2020) European Commission report on the rule of law, which expressed, inter alia, “serious concern” about the independence of the judiciary on Hungary and in Poland.
