wonder what's going on here.

(35,317 posts)3. If it's the case I'm thinking of,
the claim is it's because to comply here would be illegal in the country it mostly does business in.
Comply here, get arrested and convicted there. Don't comply here, get found in contempt. It's the kind of catch-22 that most countries try to avoid putting people (which means companies) in.
Then there's always the reasoning, "If the government wants to know anything about you, the only reason you wouldn't eagerly give them in information for public use is if you're doing something illegal." So much for privacy rights. To exercise them is to confess to criminality. I guess.
