Facebook Removes Page of Racist Hungarian Website After ADL Complaint, Replacement Page Posted Next Day "The page, however, was quickly replaced. In a post to the main Kuruc.info page, its editors directed readers to a new Facebook page where the group claims, “It is not racist to have pride in being white.” But the impact of Facebook’s decision is still important, as Kuruc lost its 70,000 followers; now just 10 people “like” the page. A previous attempt to re-publish the page the day before was quashed by Facebook; Kuruc claimed 6,400 followers had returned within just 36 hours of being back online. Kuruc claims the current site, with 10 followers, is not controlled by the editorial team, but by fans. APF’s Bodnar said Kuruc is indicative of a greater problem in Hungary: “The quality of Hungarian public speech is deteriorating day by day. The anti-Semitic utterances in Parliament are the representatives of employers and with a proud voice, and you hear their racist, anti-Semitic speeches blight the public thinking, destroying the quality of public discourse.” The Action and Protection Foundation was created by the Unified Hungarian Israelite Community (EMIH), MAZSIHISZ and several other Jewish organizations."
