Freedom of Expression
The MatrixHungary Truth Research Society’s online platforms (www.matrixhungary.com, www.media.matrixhungary.hu, www.matrixhungary.hu, Facebook, Twitter, MeWe, Telegram, Tiktok, Gettr, VK, and any other platforms where we will be present in the future) reflect only our opinions in every post, article, page, audio material, video, image, or anything that originates from us. We present them as opinions and not as facts. No statements of fact are made on our platforms.
The operation of our website and online platforms is ensured by Paragraph (1) of Article 61 of the Fundamental Law of Hungary:
„In the Republic of Hungary, everyone has the right to freedom of expression.”
According to Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), everyone has the right to freedom of expression.
This right includes the freedom to form opinions and the freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas regardless of borders.
No one shall be harassed because of their views. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression, which includes the freedom to search for, receive, and disseminate any kind of information and ideas, regardless of borders, in oral, written, printed, artistic, or any other form of their choice.
(The protection of privacy can be expressed as an objective level of protection, which is human dignity. If an intrusion into privacy violates human dignity, then regardless of individual (subjective) sensitivity thresholds, this limitation is a violation of fundamental rights.)
Freedom of expression is one of the fundamental human rights and part of freedom of speech. The freedom of expression is the moral right for everyone to freely express their opinions.
Right to Privacy The MatrixHungary Truth Research Society is an anonymous group of friends who occasionally share their opinions on world events. We are not journalists, so we do not qualify as public figures either. Our online platforms constitute a shared personal blog. Our identities and all personal data are not public and are protected by laws regarding the protection of privacy.
