A ruling from the higher court of the EU is a PR stunt?

Germany thought the antennas on their land were just for astronomy?

What has to do some antennas in Germany with a ruling from the ECJ of a case referred by the Irish High Court about Facebook?

Are you saying that the ECJ ruled without looking at the case merits?

I'm saying that no material facts have changed or were unknown by the governments before the safe haven and that I am skeptical that the case would have been heard at all without public revelation and interest.

I am also very skeptical that private data in Germany was or is any safer from the problems with the safe haven as far as data intentionally illegally shared with institutions in the US, not due purely to issues on the ground when defending the data in good faith.
