Kuruc.info is a far-right Hungarian language online portal registered in California, United States, affiliated with politician Előd Novák. The website often harbours extreme anti-semitic sentiments, including frequent Holocaust denial, and frequently publishes anti-Romani and homophobic content. The first iteration of the website, kettosallampolgarsag.hu, was created to support the 2004 Hungarian dual citizenship referendum. The website then illegally published personal information about publicist Imre Para-Kovács. As the website's focus broadened, and its traffic kept growing even after the referendum had ended, its editors decided to start Kuruc.info on 01 February 2006, named after the "Kuruc", the rebels against the Habsburg monarchy who fought for Hungarian independence between 1671 and 1711. Until 2019, Kuruc.info's staff was anonymous, and the website was registered in the name of a private individual, first in Scottsdale, Arizona, then Healdsburg, California. The website first gained notoriety for its "more SZDSZ, more paedophiles" campaign before the 2006 Hungarian parliamentary election, which was also closely affiliated with the newly formed Jobbik party. In 2006, Kuruc.info also posted photographs, addresses, and phone numbers of judges and prosecutors who had participated in legal proceedings against anti-government protestors. Several of the officials whose details were posted received threatening phone calls and letters. After this, the website still routinely published the personal data of individuals they opposed.
