Founder and primary operator of Visegrád 24, a conservative news aggregation outlet with informal affiliations to Polish conservative politics
Visegrád 24 is a social media account and news website founded in January 2020 by a group of anonymous conservative individuals, primarily led by South African-Polish content creator and advertiser Stefan Tompson. It focuses on current events, particularly the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, and Central Eastern European politics. The account has grown rapidly, amassing significant influence through rapid news aggregation and opinion pieces. As of late 2025, it remains active, posting frequently on geopolitical issues, with recent activities including coverage of global conflicts, U.S. elections, and anti-migration narratives. It has faced scrutiny for ties to Poland's Law and Justice party and for disseminating unverified information.
Visegrád 24 operates as an influential but unreliable news aggregator with significant biases toward conservative, nationalist viewpoints. While it provides timely updates on key global events and has built a large audience, its track record of disinformation, lack of transparency in operations, and political affiliations severely compromise its credibility. It is best approached with caution, cross-verifying claims against established sources, as it often prioritizes engagement over factual rigor.
Assessment by Grok AI
Visegrád 24 has a mixed to poor historical accuracy, with multiple instances of sharing unverified or false information, including fake news on Ukraine and Gaza conflicts. Fact-checks from outlets like OKO.press and Media Bias/Fact Check label it as a questionable source prone to propaganda. It has issued few corrections, and while it sometimes links sources in replies, it frequently promotes biased narratives without verification. Investigations reveal government funding ties and anonymous operations, undermining transparency.
