Hungary Introduces Europe's Most Restrictive Media Law
Found on VoA News on Friday, 31 December 2010
Hungary is introducing on Saturday a controversial media law that critics say will turn the clock back and re-introduce totalitarian rule in the former Communist nation.
The legislation has been compared by the opposition to the way the press had been treated during Hungary's Communist era and under other totalitarian regimes.
The group's Chief Representative to the EU, Olivier Basille, said the legislation is the worst media law of all European Union countries, including Italy, where the prime minister attempted to sue international media.
Good news. Maybe they look like bad news at first, but the more countries try to apply censorship, the bigger the base working against it. It just takes a handful of politicians who have no clue about technology to mobilize a crowd of tech-savvy people who will fix the problem by making it harder to censor.
