What happened to due process? Every major firm should have a "dawn raid" policy to comply while preserving rights.

Specific to the Uber case(s), if it were illegal, then why didn't Uber get criminal charges or fines?

At best there's an argument that it was "obstructing justice," but logging people off, encrypting, and deleting local copies isn't necessarily illegal.

They had a sweet deal with Macron. Prosecution became hard to continue once he got involved.

It is aggressive compliance. The legality would be determined by the courts as usual.
