Media Authority: Child Porn Content On Hungarian Servers ‘Low’
Internet servers operated in Hungary are “not attractive” for paedophiles, Hungary’s media authority NMHH told MTI, quoting a recent report by INHOPE, an international association fighting child abuse.

According to the report, some 0.14% of all Europe’s child pornography is stored on Hungarian servers, while content providers typically act upon warnings from Internet Hotline, NMHH’s organisation in Hungary and a member of INHOPE.

The report said that more than half of European paedophile content (51%) was stored on Dutch servers, 18% in France, and 10% in Sweden.

Across INHOPE’s members around the world the US has the largest share (43%), while the Netherlands is second with 19% followed by Russia with 7%.

Hungary’s Internet Hotline received 56 warnings of paedophile content from users in 2017, NMHH said, adding that criminal proceedings were initiated in 20 cases.
