Hungary's prime minister had tried to put a tax on the internet that for each household that uses it or has access to the internet. This is due to the fact that the government is trying to attempt to get less users online. This is de to the fact that new and digital media such as the internet has allowed for people to become more free and voice their thoughts online for everyone to see. The government are currently trying to think of ways to cuts down on people using the internet by charging them taxes. They are trying to cut down on oppositional voices and now know how powerful new and digital media is and how influential it can be. Later on crowds and protestors arose to address this problem they may be facing in the future and protested for the government not to make this new legislation.

- Hungary thinking of new internet tax
- Government worried about oppositional voices being heard
- Silencing people
I personally think that is legislation should not be put out as the tax is unnessasry and only for the fact that the government are scared of what might happen if people were to carry on spreading their voices through the internet. People are allowed to say what they like when they like and how they like. the tax could affect some households in Hungary.
