It's especially insane because Polish law is not a superset of every other country's law. If a web site is forced to remove content because it violates a law specific to the country the site is based in -- boom, now they've broken the law in Poland.

Nitpicking: you would want it to be a subset of the laws of all other countries‘ for that as it needs to be the intersection of all to be compatible with all of them at once.

Enforced it could be. No way to reasonably comply, though.
