Hungary's Parliament not only voted to ban Pride events. They also voted to "allow authorities to use facial recognition software to identify attenders and potentially fine them," reports the Guardian.

Just get masks guys. This is ridiculous, and a good example why we need encrypted networks and ways to defeat facial recognition.
This is not about fighting crime. Never was.

Now it's on Hungarians, will they go to streets and make them regret this decision, or give up their rights, hoping it won't affect them eventually (spoiler, it will).
- Probably the latter, considering how the people here usually are

Unfortunately, EU can't kick out contries that go completely against EU values.
- We cannot kick them but could EU not create a special status for countries that deviate from the norm and democracy?
  Veto? Gone
  Money? On hold
  Schengen? Closed
  SEPA? Oopsie, doopsie it is in maintenance but just for you
  Etc...
  I'm all to keep countries free to vote and make a choice if your candidate is just pro-russian, corrupted, a felon in an election it is now put on hold and you need to change your way fast otherwise it is not gonna end well for you.

  There seems to be some wiggle room.

  This is the biggest engine factory of VW, in Győr, Hungary:

Fuck em

Lol fuck you orban, im going to pride even though im not queer and i dont even live in hungary anymore. Sadly even this one moment of peace for queer people has been bastardized.

maybe time for CV dazzle: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.13507
This is not foolproof (read the paper for details) but it can help to protect peoples identities if used correctly.

Disgusting. At least, it seems that their (ie Fidesz-KDNP, Jobbik, and Our Homeland Movement MPs: Péter Balassa and Imre Ritter ^[1]) public support is dropping ^[2].
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS

Hungary, Hungary, Hungary.
