## Questions and answers

### What is the primary function of news42.hu?

News42.hu serves as a reader portal for a private news agency that uses AI to monitor and synthesize public information. It focuses on verifying facts and creating original summaries from multiple independent sources rather than reposting existing content.

### How does the site handle copyright laws?

The site treats facts as free but protects wording by writing all text originally. It uses only short attributed quotes with links and never reuses source images or summarizes paywalled content.

### Is the news generated entirely by AI?

No, the process involves human editorial review to ensure responsibility under the AI Act. This human oversight means the final public-interest text does not require an AI label.

### What sources are used for the news digests?

Content is synthesized from at least three independent sources to ensure accuracy. The system also compares how different outlets cover the same story to provide framing context.

### Who owns and operates this news agency?

Zoltán Varga registered the domains to launch a private news agency separate from his training and consulting brands. The agency operates under the model where agentage.hu handles B2B services and news42.hu serves readers.

### What is the current regulatory status of the site?

The agency is in preparation. Launch dates and editorial details will be published here first.
