The then third President of the National Council, Martin Graf ( FPÖ ), is the initiator of the platform . The website is officially operated by 1848 Medienvielfalt Verlags GmbH . Its managing director Walter Asperl was Graf's office manager and is employed as a speaker for the parliamentary club of the FPÖ. Graf's former press spokesman Alexander Höferl was editor-in-chief of the platform until he moved to the cabinet of Interior Minister Herbert Kickl (FPÖ) in 2018 when the Federal Government Kurz I ( ÖVP- FPÖ coalition) was formed .

Reception and criticism

The documentation archive of the Austrian resistance describes unzensuriert.at as a “disinformation project on the right edge”. In 2012, the internet newspaper had to pay 2000 euros in compensation for defamation to ORF journalist Ed Moschitz .

In May 2013 the Directorate was the Austrian Parliament against the operator of the website on suspicion of approval of a punishable offense in connection with the right-wing extremist attacks in Norway in 2011 by Anders Behring Breivik filed charges. Graf then accused the first President of the National Council, Barbara Prammer (SPÖ), of “abuse of power”.

In 2013 the portal was nominated for the negative cul-de-sac of the MigAwards of Austrian migrants as part of the Vienna Integration Week because of “xenophobic and misanthropic as well as inflammatory and right-wing populist content”.

In 2016, the Internet newspaper had to pay damages of 2000 euros to Vienna's Vice Mayor Renate Brauner for defamation .

During the meeting of Defenders of Europe in October 2016 in Linz , where u. a. unzensuriert.at appeared as an exhibitor, the then Governor of Upper Austria Josef Pühringer had the conference checked by the Upper Austrian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution . In the risk assessment by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the Fight against Terrorism , it is said that unzensuriert.at can be attributed to the right-wing and nationalist camp. The content published in the medium would be “in part extremely xenophobic and show anti-Semitic tendencies”. " Conspiracy-theoretical approaches and a pro-Russian ideology" would also be represented.
