With your reasoning, if you can’t find anything about a country, it means that there are no problems. Right? So if there was no free press, there wouldn’t be any problem?
Your reasoning is messed up. Did I say that Germany is perfect? Nope. There are problems, like in many country.
Just days ago, a farmer opposing the “agricultural lobbies” was murdered. Nothing happened: https://basta.media/silence-Etat-meurtre-Pierre-Alessandri-agriculteur-syndicaliste-militant-anti-mafia-en-Corse
A bit more than 1y ago, they uncovered massiv tracking of protestants opposing changes of the retirement age and other social topics. Nothing happened: https://www.lefigaro.fr/actualite-france/reforme-des-retraites-le-fichier-nominatif-des-manifestants-est-il-illegal-20230517
Again in France, the antiterrorisme units were used to interrogate and track manifestants to a state projects which was actually illegal. Again, nothing happened: https://www.lefigaro.fr/actualite-france/reforme-des-retraites-le-fichier-nominatif-des-manifestants-est-il-illegal-20230517
So seriously, people bashing Germany should get their heads out of their asses and look in any direction. What they will see is much worse pretty much anywhere. Africa? LATAM? SEA? China (lol)? Ruzzia? USA?
To find equivalent or better, you have probably Scandinavia and Switzerland.
Have you tried adding “legs” in your model and cutting them off?
