I wonder if you would also claim "rule of law" when let's say North Korea tries banning the German news infrastructure world-wide, or Iran bans depiction of unveiled women on the internet, or China starts going against Wikipedia with an enforceable worldwide ban because Tiannamen never happened.
It is the nature of an international network that you cannot reasonably expect your government's laws to have any say on a service run in another part of the world. If you do think your government SHOULD have a way to enforce their laws in another country, maybe the internet is not for your country.

- DocTomoe 4y ago> nobody demanded that European (and for that matter, Canadian[1]) courts wanting stuff gone internationally is well-documented[2]. It is not unconceivable that German enforcement agencies would use similar tactics. Once you give them the small finger, they will take the whole arm.
