I notice Uber have probably-intentionally crossed jurisdictions here.

Some guy in Canada pages a number - as the company training teaches - hen cops show up. That's plausibly not an attempt to fail to comply with a court order. Pretty sure telling your boss your office is being raided isn't an easy thing to prove contempt for, especially if it's company policy in subpoena-able training manuals.

Then some anonymous team initiates a nuke-it-from-orbit sitewide computer lockdown remotely from the US. Where they're quite likely fairly well shielded from Canadian contempt-of-court rulings.

Sneaky.
