Unless they make crazy allegations that aren't true. I should probably not use generalities like Europe when there are such differences between countries. But you can easily go to jail in France for insulting the wrong officials. And in England for insulting the royal family. The fact that there are licenses to practice the professional of journalism is evidence of a lack of freedom of the press. To be a professional photographer in germany requires certifications or you simply can't do it. Each system has advantages and disadvantages. I prefer the messy advantages over the neat disadvantages.
