Finland shouldn't be at the top of the list. There is still self-censorship going on, especially related to opinions about Russia. It's called "Finlandization": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finlandization

>especially related to opinions about Russia

What year are you living in? There's certainly some self-censorship in Finnish media, but it's mostly related to PC-issues (e.g. disproportionate amount of of crimes committed by foreigners, and especially some humanitarian immigrants), but that's mostly a political statement by the reporters and certainly not a government policy (and thus does not extend to all of media).
