    Fair enough! I was discussing this with a friend who lives in Hungary and she was aware of the newish specific ban on “pride”, but yeah as you said it is not a surprising or new rethoric for the country. Facial recognition is worrying though I fear regulating its use will be very difficult, and this is an important case for that which may impact all of the EU.

      I haven’t seen the EU inspired by Hungary’s policies, so let’s hope that will be the same here as well.
