>high-censorship, high-freedom societies like Germany

When the police storms your home (the wrong one at first, too) because you called a minister a dick on Twitter, that's not "high-freedom".

In my estimation, a country can have high censorship but also high ability for people to change the government (that’s what I call “freedom” here). So, in that sense, Germany is high-freedom because it can elect people to change the laws which enable censorship.
