Opposition LMP has called on Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to end his communication activities on TikTok because it poses data protection and cybersecurity risks, the deputy leader of the party’s parliamentary group said on Saturday.
It would be reassuring if the prime minister did not use TikTok on his official devices, Máté Kanász-Nagy told an online press conference, adding that the ownership structure of the application is closely linked to the Chinese state and the Chinese Communist party.
Kanász-Nagy said TikTok has access to calendar entries, contact lists as well as GPS data, meaning that sensitive personal and government data can be accessed by unauthorised persons. LMP has submitted a bill that would ban the use of TikTok on official devices used for work in the state and municipal sectors, Kanasz-Nagy said, adding that several countries have made similar decisions recently.
Viktor Orbán is very popular on TikTok. Currently, he has more than 80 thousand followers on the app. His most popular video, a conversation with Transylvanian young Hungarians, already has more than 1.2 million viewers, napi.hu wrote. Orbán appeared on TikTok last December with a video about migration and war.
In case anyone has been living in a cave for the last 15 years it should be well known that Orban is in bed with the Russians and the Chinese. The Western Alliance has been long aware that sensitive information is at risk if it gets into Hungarian hands. The US forced the Russian spy bank out of Budapest where the Orban government granted diplomatic immunity to all of its’ employees. Now only three months later Orban has set up a Russian scientific institute in Hungary where guess what – the employees all have diplomatic immunity. Every day that goes by another piece of evidence comes up that Hungary is actually a de facto Russian satellite masquerading as a NATO and EU member. Orban’s Hungary is Putin’s Trojan Horse for sure.
Obran should use satellite phones like the Biden crime family especially for bribes and other sensitive info. All the big internet co have all the info they want on you especially the US goverment.
The majority of the business here have Facebook for their home page- I guess they don’t know it’s a shill for the US goverment.
