Hard to see how a company can imagine it can do business in a country and not follow that country’s record keeping laws and be subject to criminal and civil statutes in that country.

How is this relevant to Uber's files and computers located in other jurisdictions?

If you do business in France, you are accountable in France. Your problem to provide the asked documents if it's the law to provide them. That you are using computers elsewhere to store stuff should not be any relevant.

You shouldn't really be able to have it both ways, should you?

Uber's files and computers located in French territory are of course accountable to French authorities, but that's simply not the case for those located in other jurisdictions…

Unless there is some international law or treaty mandating that?
