Hungary s justice minister has convened an extraordinary meeting of the Digital Freedom Committee due to "systemic abuses" by tech companies.

„Shadowban means the act of social media providers secretly, for political purposes, restricting the visibility and access of our user profile without our knowledge about it,” Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga wrote on Facebook on Monday.

„Tech companies thus violate all those fundamental democratic legal norms that form the basis of Western-type culture,” the minister wrote.

„We could not only learn about the system-wide practice of shadow banning from a voice recording of the now-leaked Twitter CEO,” she added. „To reduce their reach, Facebook also limits the visibility of Christian, conservative, right-wing opinions. I also have personal experience of that.”

„The Ministry of Justice contributes to the EU regulation of global tech companies with the work of the Digital Freedom Committee. Due to the systematic abuses, however, we may need to step up sooner”, Ms Varga wrote, adding that this „is why I convened an extraordinary meeting of the Digital Freedom Committee (and this week I will also consult with the President of the Hungarian Competition Authority on the possibility of sanctioning unfair commercial practices)”.
