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
