Origo (stylised as ORIGO, previously as [origo]) is a major Hungarian-language news website founded in 1998 by telecommunications company MATÁV. In 2018, Origo was the third most visited Hungarian website. Since 2015, Origo has been regularly criticised for several reasons, such as their proclivity for publishing softcore pornography openly and on the front page (often objectifying women in the process), its uncritical support of the Fidesz political party and regularly spreading fake news. Some critics describe the website as "state-run propaganda".
