"Since yesterday, access to the government's Facebook page and the pages of many government politicians has dropped significantly, in several cases to a fraction. This is also true for my side," wrote parliamentary state secretary Csaba Dömötör on his social media page.
"We are puzzled by the matter, because Facebook did not provide any prior information about the reasons for this. We do not know whether there is a technical problem behind the phenomenon or the previously announced intention to suppress political content. In any case, the case draws our attention to the vulnerability of public actors in this field.
The reduction of access is particularly disadvantageous in the current period, when information about the epidemic and vaccinations and authentic information of Hungarians are more important than anything else on online platforms.
If we receive more detailed information from Facebook, we will report it. What can we do in the meantime?
If you don't see a post from the government or the government politician you followed in your news feed, set it as a favorite. In this way, it is hoped that the contents will be more likely to appear in the future.
The politician also gives the steps, but before that, a thought:
The State Secretary put it delicately when he wrote: We do not know whether there is a technical problem behind the phenomenon or the previously announced intention to suppress political content.
But on what basis? Because, if you think about it, Facebook skillfully attracted people, you could say they became the emperor of publicity. Then they decide, they limit, that is, they only ask what they think is good. In the meantime, they give space to sputtering about democracy and freedom of the press. Something should be done now! Not just for us, but for the world.
Now let's look at the steps.
Pass it on, we hope it reaches as many people as possible!

István Hollik, Fidesz's communications director, also indicated what happened He added:
...on behalf of those involved, I ask Facebook:
This phenomenon mainly affects the pages of right-wingers, why?
Is it a technical problem or a political motive behind it?
At least 36 hours have passed since the phenomenon began, why hasn't anything been said about it yet?
How can they guarantee that the same thing will not happen again 1 year from now in the days before the election?
We are waiting for Mr. Zuckerberg's answer!
In the meantime , pass it on so that as many people as possible can find out about it!"
