Reply to comment by DM_DM_DND in Zelensky signs media law criticized by journalist groups as authoritarian by heimos

> Unless a local or Ukrainian speaker confirms that it has been relatively unaltered a lot of the speculation in the comments section is misguided.

No. The burden of proof is on those who claim the law is different than that which has been confirmed, even if that confirmation was months ago.

...I mean, no it's not. The expectation is that laws change from their draft forms. That's just how politics work.

Using a months old condemnation without context for if it's still relevant is dumb as a bag of bricks. You don't get to ignore questions of relevancy by arguing that a controversy is eternally relevant somehow. Plus this isn't an impossible question to answer, I just don't have any easy way to answer it myself.
