Yes because countries like France or Germany have such a better record when it comes to censorship! /s
Germany famously hunted down Indymedia and tor supporters a few years ago, and privacy-friendly ISP Freifunk had to fight its way through constitutional court. France had trials against alleged contributors to self-organized media outlets (from reseaumutu.info federation, more specifically iaata.info instance), had many many films censored (such as Afrique 50 or La bataille d'Alger), and has strong regulations outlawing critiques of police and/or president.
Creating a broader power never results in mitigating power abuse. If anything, it helps it foster by piling on layers of abstraction/bureaucracy which diminish accountability in the long run.
