>Facebook should absolutely take the government to court over this

This is not a contract between two corporations.

A private corporation should NOT sue a government for creating a new law. As long as it's legally feasible, Germany should do whatever it deems necessary to its own sovereignty and interests.




By that logic no individual has a right to contest any law no matter what


Your comparison is meaningless.

1) A corporation is not the same as a German citizen.

2) "Contest" is not the same as "suing"

3) No German has a net worth of over U$300B (FB's Market Cap)


If they are operating within Germany they ought and I'm sure do have a right to file a lawsuit.
