In contrast to the parable you are citing, the only thing broken in this case is the privacy of european citizens. The ruling to declare "Safe" Harbor invalid is not breaking anything but a step to fix a system that is systematically violating constitutional rights. In the light of US companies not effectively safeguarding european data against access by US authorities, judgements are needed to rectify the situation.
