There's a lot of results concerned with religion - Germany has been using it's anti-semitism laws to crack down on anyone that's pro-Palestine, the French hijab thing I just mentioned, etc..
The UK also has some remarkable issues with libel laws.
This is just off the top of my mind - I'm not trying to say any particular issue is super important, just threads you can investigate. But I think even a few examples like that should make it clear that there's something systemic going on.
Even in North Korea, people are allowed to freely express their love for their Dear Leader. Those who express a different view are swiftly disposed of.

It feels inappropriate that progressives have decided that it's okay to use Nazi as a generic insult for mainstream right wing parties. It waters down the true horrors of the Nazi party.

"Germany submits the highest number of legal demands for user data to X within the European Union, with ~87% of these requests targeting speech-related offenses. "
Are you sure you're using all of these words correctly?
I think the French might have some quibbles about how free their speech is.
