Reply to comment by SteauaBucuresti14 in Zelensky signs media law criticized by journalist groups as authoritarian by green_flash

How so? It is almost new years in my country so I don't have time to do a detailed dive right now. How is this going to cause (ethnically, I assume?) Romanians in Ukraine to suffer? (Also, happy new years homie)

This has nothing to do with the media law in this thread.

Tl;dr on the article, complaining that Ukraine won't drop Ukrainian language requirements for minority groups nor give them special legislative representation. Some examples are...

  • an independent e.g. Romanian newspaper can't operate out of Ukraine without publishing everything in both Ukrainian and Romanian, and the Ukrainian government won't sponsor the translation for them just so they can meet the requirement
  • a Ukrainian village that happens to be largely e.g. Romanian speaking can't fully convert everything to Romanian without also including Ukrainian, the country's language--even after a local government vote to do so
  • an e.g. Romanian minority group does not get legal priority when considering other legislation, nor gets its own special legislative representation

All this is not quite in the spirit of full proactive support for freedom of speech, but it's a very far cry from anything authoritarian or discriminatory. Replace Romanian with Russian in the examples, and I think the problem with the asks becomes immediately obvious.

How is it not discriminatory? Also it affects áll kind of minorities within Ukraine, and it is in no way compatible with the EU.

People tend to disregard nuance in these types of situations. A consistent level of critical thinking is never a bad thing.

Keep in mind that real people aren't downvoting you.

Industrial Corporations & military/Intel bureaus pay people to influence social media impact... Both groups maintain or contract employees to run multiple accounts for this & they also have web crawlers & bot farms that help.... Twitter recently had hundreds of millions of accounts purged from their platform for participating in this.... but it's been done slowly over the last decade to all social media. Certainly here.
