The 2014 Hungarian Internet Tax Protests were a series of massive demonstrations triggered by the government's proposal to tax internet data usage at 150 HUF per gigabyte. The most iconic imagery from these protests includes thousands of people holding up their glowing smartphones in Hero’s Square and the 'keyboard protest' where citizens piled old hardware outside the ruling party's headquarters. While it started as a reaction to a specific policy, it became a broader symbol of civil resistance against perceived digital authoritarianism. Internet users today use these images to represent the fight for net neutrality, digital rights, and the power of grassroots movements to force a government U-turn.
