Hungary's new government has declared its intention to unblock around 10,000 users previously banned from the official Facebook page of the Hungarian government. The administration of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had implemented these restrictions, which the current government criticizes as excessive.

The government's communication team highlighted the sheer volume of blocked users, stating it took 13 minutes to scroll through the list of names on the official page. This action underscores a shift in the government's approach to online discourse, emphasizing freedom of expression.

"We are building a country where everyone can freely express their opinion as long as it does not offend others," the government stated in its announcement. This move signals a commitment to a more open platform for public discussion on the government's official social media channels.
