Kuruc.info
Kuruc.info is a far-right Hungarian language online portal registered in the State of California, United States.[1] The website has been described as a "neo-Nazi rag"[2] and often harbors extreme anti-semitic views.[1]
Etymology
"Kuruc" is the name given to the rebels against the Habsburg Monarchy who fought for Hungarian independence between 1671 and 1711.[3]
History
Kuruc.info is registered in the name of a private individual in Healdsburg, California.[1]
In 2006, Kuruc.info posted photographs addresses, and phone numbers of judges and prosecutors who had participated in legal proceedings against anti-government protesters along with their addresses, and phone numbers. As a result, the office of the Budapest chief prosecutor indicted Balazs Molnar, editor of Kuruc.info, for libel and misuse of personal data.[citation needed] Several of the officials whose details were posted received threatening phone calls and letters.[4]

Political Ideology
Kuruc.info considers itself to be more right-wing than the far-right Hungarian political party known as the Jobbik, distinguishing itself from Barikád, which is regarded as Jobbik's "semi-official online news organ".[3]
Categories on the site include "anti-Hungarianism", "Gypsy-crime", "Jewish crime", "migrant crime", "economic news", where there is more discussion of the economic crimes of Jews and communists, and a "humor" section where one can find derogatory jokes about Jews, Romani, and communists. Users engage in commentary about the website's publications and maintain an active site forum.[3]
