Just thinking out loud here, but is this really an "America is evil" thing? Don't all countries do it?
Google is an American company and they are always running into issues with European countries trying to get them to comply with stricter European privacy laws and regulations, even when they are not selling anything (i.e Google Street View). Apple and Microsoft deal with the same things.
For example, here is a story about Google being investigated by the EU for anti trust violations.

Should Google be able to tell the EU to fuck off because they are an American company and the EU has no jurisdiction over them?
Generally, when you have users or customers in a foreign country, that country tries to get you to comply with their laws. Every country does it, not just America.
I doubt ICE will care if, for example, a German .com is streaming German content to German citizens. It's when a site streams a large portion of it's content to U.S. based surfers that they will get involved.
I'm NOT defending the actions of ICE, but every country tries to apply it's own laws when a foreign company starts to cross it's borders, even via the internet. You can't just blame America on this one. America has the most weight to throw around so everyone notices their actions, but every country does this in their own way.
