One idea would be for the government of Hungary to create a list of its citizens that share this inciting, dangerous or whatever you you wanna call it material. If they keep on finding the same persons distributing multiple times, they may pay them a visit, get them fired from their government job, block their bank accounts, put them on the no-fly list or whatever.

And that’s just one idea, probably there’s others.

But why do this flagging out in the open where other member countries will see this obvious pattern of behavior and abuse of this system? Once again, yes this tool can be abused, but there are much simpler and harder to detect approaches that a corrupt or authoritarian government could implement. That is where the rubber-hose analogy comes into play.
