The governing party politician believes that Peter Magyar's so-called vote is a clear and shameless act of data collecting. Deutsch pointed out that the Tisza Party leader is conducting an online survey that basically requires a simple yes or no response, yet he is asking voters for their names, email addresses, phone numbers, home addresse, and year of birth.

Why? Because this is nothing but shameless data harvesting,

Tamas Deutsch emphasized, also claiming that Peter Magyar’s actions are unlawful.

Phone theft is illegal—it’s a criminal offense. And so is data harvesting. Not just a little, but very much so, period,

he added.

As Magyar Nemzet reported earlier, Peter Magyar launched a vote on Monday to decide whether he should remain an MEP. While the vote was slated to close Tuesday at 7 PM, he extended the deadline to Wednesday noon without any explanation.

This move enables Peter Magyar to unjustifiably collect even more personal data from voters.
