I don’t think it has been tested in court. It’s akin to a U.S. Court issuing a search warrant on a house in Paris.

Yes, it has been tested: https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/09/microsoft...

And that’s exactly what it would be like, though the house in Paris would be owned by a company that has a legal entity in the United States.

No problem at all with GDPR and third countries. They simply need to have a regulatory framework making compliance possible.

The problem is that frameworks we have with the US keep being shot down by the EU judiciary. First Safe Harbor and now Privacy Shield. For good reason I might add.
