Break the parasite up!
Out of curiosity, forgetting that the US is also pursuing something similar, what motive would Google have to comply with a Japanese ruling? Could Japan just... Ban Google if they don't comply?
Every country is sovereign in its territorial. This means that they can:
- confiscate actives in japan
- to pass fines
- to ban the access to the servers
- to ban the operations on its territory
- to jail the company's representative of the country
- etc etc
As an example the EU did exactly this when the gdpr came into play
