I fully expect any business to cooperate with a warrant or court order, and the law generally.

I expect them to challenge court orders that likely will not be upheld if appealed.

Imagine a municipal court judge in west virginia demanded google hand over all data and source code they hold to a third party. They would, and should, fight this order in a higher court since this is massive overreach on the part of the judge.

Yes, I agree, that's a good point.
