| The number of complaints submitted to the programme surveillance service has increased by nearly three-quarters in the past month, but the number of reports on radio frequency interferences and those received by the Hungarian Regulatory Authority’s Internet Hotline has also increased 1.5 times over the same period of last year. A new element in these submissions is that more and more fake news and objectionable teleshopping windows have been reported. Amounting to over half of the cases, reports about fake news related to the pandemic that may give rise to suspicion of scaremongering are sent by the Internet Hotline to the police for further investigation. The number of reports about phishing and content harmful to minors has also multiplied this year. |
