Here's an interesting question. How do sanctions apply to Multi-national companies? Is there a "home country" designation or some such thing? Google has offices in Many countries.

I guess I'm asking, what makes them a "US" company vs. a US/HK/GB Company?

I could be wrong, but I think there isn't really such thing as "international company" in terms of law. Even if they have multiple offices or factories in many countries, each entity is registered as independent company in these countries. The whole administration and management is internal, inside the organization.

I would guess that the physical servers that have the documentation, are in the US.
