Hromadske TV has called on journalists and media legal experts to weigh in on a draft disinformation law proposed by Ukraine's Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sports. The media outlet criticizes the bill for potentially restricting free expression and tightening government control over the media sector, urging public debate and a market-driven regulation of journalism.

Hromadske TV published an investigative report detailing how Russia’s FSB has been using the annexed Crimean peninsula as a testing ground for extensive surveillance technologies, exposing discriminatory practices and legal violations against residents, particularly targeting marginalized groups such as Crimean Tatars and Muslims.

On August 9, the Commercial Court of Kyiv ruled in favor of the radical right-wing group C14 in a lawsuit against Hromadske TV over a 2018 tweet labeling C14 as 'neo-Nazi'. The decision, which imposed a fine and mandated a retraction, has been widely decried as a blow to media freedom and independent journalism, prompting calls for the Appeals Court to overturn the ruling in order to protect democratic debate and public interest.

Hromadske TV, the independent Ukrainian media outlet, reportedly ceased working with journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna after she persistently traveled to Russian-occupied territories to cover critical stories. This decision, made amid a dangerous conflict context, raises concerns over the company’s commitment to protecting and supporting investigative journalism and free press values.

Right-wing organization C14 has filed a lawsuit against Hromadske TV after the independent media outlet's social media post described the group as 'neo-Nazis'. The lawsuit, filed on July 2 in Kyiv's Pechersk District Court, is said to be in defense of the group's honor, dignity, and business reputation. Hromadske TV maintains that its characterization was aimed at exposing extremist ideologies.

Amid the Russian invasion, Hromadske TV swiftly transitioned from scheduled broadcasts to live streaming and digital coverage by relocating operations and maintaining independent, oligarch‑free journalism during turbulent times.

Hromadske TV published an investigative article exposing Moscow's new, China-inspired facial recognition and surveillance system. The report highlights the technology's parallels with repressive surveillance practices in China and underscores the risks of unchecked digital surveillance in authoritarian regimes.

The Commercial Court of Kyiv ruled in favor of the far-right C14 group in its defamation lawsuit against Hromadske TV, which had labeled C14 as 'neo-Nazi' in a tweet. Hromadske TV is appealing the decision, arguing that it undermines free speech and sets a dangerous precedent, even as the ruling underscores how defamation claims—regardless of the anti-fascist intent behind the labels—can be used by extremist groups to protect their reputation.

After publishing a dispatch video from the frontlines detailing Ukrainian military encounters, Hromadske TV faced severe governmental backlash when its frontline accreditation was revoked on July 11, 2014. The revocation followed accusations that the video exposed sensitive military details, reflecting an authoritarian impulse to curb independent journalism and suppress dissent.
