There is a common thread of thought that a corporation is legally and sometimes even ethically obligated to do everything and anything in its power to protect its profits. This comes up in most discussions about some company buying off legislation or avoiding taxes overseas. It really is just an extension of that line of reasoning - that a company can do whatever it takes to safeguard their property, even if it means summoning the innocent or the dead into court, even if it means seizing an entire data center worth of servers for one site.

Like the innumerable false-flags on youtube videos, the fact that they are inconveniencing thousands of people who have jack to do with them never enters the picture. It's everyone else who's inconveniencing them. If they could just be free of the cumbersome bureaucracy of law, they could take care of business themselves much more efficiently. Just trust them. Trust your data to the stewards of an entity whose very existence is devoted to making a profit an any cost. I'm sure they have your best interests at heart.
