I’d say that European nations have a different understanding of press freedom. Mind that the individual nations have different attitudes toward this.
In Germany, press means mainly newspapers. The publishers owning these papers are very keen on copyright enforcement. Copyright does conflict with freedom of information but, I think, most would not see a conflict with press freedom.
The EU is determined to regulate who is allowed to use data for what purpose and to create the legal tools to enforce that. That’s not limited to copyright. I’m very worried about that trend on many levels.
But I don’t think Yuri creators will face problems in most EU countries in the foreseeable future.
But blocking Anna’s Archive, Libgen, OceanofPDF, Z-Library, and the Internet Archive’s Open Library is such a terrible way to express that you hate press.
Science and academics should be freely pressed, without the authoritarianism of copyright. If my yuri koma was discussing prion synthesis, one shouldn’t deter me for referencing the journal.
In France, you have the choice between public press (depending a lot on the president in place thanks to his tax cut), you have capitalist propaganda, more or less obviously fascist, and that’s it for the TV. On the web you have Blast, le Média, Frustration Magasine, or Humanity in paper if you want leftist media.
193 countries have signed WIPO, and those that haven’t generally have political problems or are third world, unfortunately I don’t see a way out of that one if you don’t want to compromise something else for it
Is there any European nation that favors freedom of press?
I was planning on emigrating there, due to LGBTQIA+ rights, metros, and elevation. But this has soured my choice.
In The Netherlands we still have a freedom of press: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/media-en-publieke-omroep/persvrijheid-bewaken and we are also progressive on the LGBTQ+ front.

Yes. It is a big problem for Europe. I don’t expect that it will be fixed in the foreseeable future. In fact, it is being made worse in many ways.
You may reference and quote journal articles. That’s something I expect will stay allowed.
So you’re saying not even Norway will free press😭
Norway killed a walrus bc it was sinking boats by sitting on them :(
😭 the walrus did nothing wrong😭
down with capitalism!✊🏿🦭

I’m aware of French freedom to be lynched. I’m asking if there are freer nations I can write yuri in, that won’t persecute my sapphic heart🧡🤍💜.
I guess Yuri is good for now. Just don’t get your hopes to high, 2027 election will be a weird ride I guess
Then I’ll be voting extremely anarchistic once I emigrate, and repeal these authoritarian laws.
I had considered Norway, until they signed WIPO.
