""There is a real risk that the Hungarian election campaign and other upcoming campaigns will be influenced by a significant number of illicit political ads - including deepfakes - with a huge reach.""
""Fidesz and entities connected to the party have managed to use paid-for political advertisements, accompanied by enforced difficulties in tracking them.""

Despite the ban, Fidesz continues to utilize paid political advertisements, complicating tracking efforts.
