Can you expand on this point? I wasn't sure if your point was that this might hinder Google expanding in other countries or if you were just taking issue with the phrasing.

My point was just to show that legal systems differ and the balance between employer and employee rights can vary.
Google has a big data center in Finland. IIRC they stopped their plans for a Berlin lab after visible anti-Google protests in the neighborhood, but I'm sure they have employees somewhere in Germany. International companies just follow local legislation and practices and there is no problem (most of the time at least, there are examples of failure like Walmart trying to expand to Germany with too much of an American management style and eventually giving up).
