I'm not talking about this fantastic new hate-speech law per se
Then you should have made your general point at the outset. Surely it's clear that the law applies to people providing services to consumers in Germany.
Imagine if Turkey asked Facebook to enforce Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code.
In Turkey? OK I guess. I haven't bothered to look up Article 301 or even whether it exists since I presume you're making a rhetorical point.
