      Germany:
      „**Section 188 of the Criminal Code protects politicians from such infringements on their reputation, with violations punishable by a fine or up to five years in prison.“**

      **“**Section 188 was expanded in 2021 to include „insults“ alongside defamation and slander when directed at „persons in political life“ in a way that could substantially impair their public activities.“

      The trouble with these rankings is that they create the impression of trouble where there isn’t.

      No serious person should think that press freedom in Ireland is somehow much-much better than press freedom in France.

    3. UK: has a centre-left government, arrests you for tweets and even retweets: 20th

      Italy: has a right wing government that opposes chat control: 49th

      But Putin and Trump say there is no free press and freedom of expression in Europe!

      /s

      Wow we’re really low 💀. At least we know what interests each media represents and filter any information accordingly

    6. Armenia is 34th, not in the list, but still impressive, if you look at the neighborhood, i think there is still room for improvement.
      It’s divers, but very polarized and the financial sources sometimes shady.

    7. Go figure the last 3, those leaderships the world could very much do without.

    8. Russia over Belarus is stupid. There are independent journalists in Russia still, in Belarus it’s laughable to even imagine that

      The Ukraine one is false, I’ve seen a lot of Ukrainian media report on the ongoing challenges with corruption

      Türkiye is not Europe. We’ve long given up on that dream. Statistics also show this

    11. Fake news. Russia has a lot of free speech (but only when talking shit to other European countries)

    12. Again this stupid arbitrary bullshit. The biggest part of the evaluation is from(hidden) journalists that are answering questions with how they feel.

      In their world list this is even worse.

      I’m curious what the criteria are for this – not curious enough to look it up mind you – because Ukraine not ranking lower is weird since they are in a war where the government could actively repress information to protect the country. Edit: I looked it up

    14. “This score is calculated on the basis of two components:

      a quantitative tally of abuses against media and journalists in connection with their work;

      a qualitative analysis of the situation in each country or territory based on the responses of press freedom specialists (including journalists, researchers, academics and human rights defenders) to an RSF questionnaire available in 25 languages.”

      Without wishing to pass judgment in any way, it should be noted that both Reporters Without Borders and the dedicated study were funded by the EU.

      Interesting scale. Good is the top criteria and there are three levels of bad? And what does satisfactory mean? No one shot or imprisoned?

      Romania:Press lobbying

      Realitatea TV- pro AUR (anti USR,PNL),mild with PSD,hates the president,which won against the AUR nominee in the second round

      Romania TV-pro PSD(especially old school PSD,since their boss friend is an ex PSD prime minister,Ponta),plus kissing the president Arse (anti USR),and anti AUR,they have the same target viewership (since only retards vote AUR or PSD)

      Antena 3-Pro PUSL (very little party,they have ties with party members),but they have high viewership and everybody pays them,so it depends on the last check,and a little bit of ass kissing for the president

      B1-mostly pro USR and PNL but they criticize both too,not as harshly maybe (anti PSD and AUR),generally positive but can be critical of the president

      Digi24-the most impartial one,but sympathise with USR and PNL (anti PSD and AUR),generally positive for the president

      AUR-far right populist

      USR,PNL(mostly corrupt),PUSL-centre right

      PSD-centre left populist (corrupt)

      Nicusor Dan,president,founder and ex member of USR,now independent

    18. How are EU countries like Bulgaria, Greece and Cyprus doing worse than Hungary?

    19. Why is Greece so low? The other low rankers don’t exactly surprise me, but that feels unexpected. (Granted, I don’t live anywhere near Greece.)

    20. Greece is shockingly low considering it’s supposed to be a European democracy.

      I always hate these types of rankings.

      What does it mean for Norway to be number 1 and estonia number 2 if the difference amounts to, say, 0.02%?

      It should be points based (probably is tbf) and that is what should be shared, not this.

    22. Puzzleheaded-Ad-9595 on

      Well this sub is very good on freedom of speech..say something true but if it contradicts the EU vision you get shadow banned 🙌topics like digital id, voluntary conscription seem very sensible topics here
