> This is the kind of things police will do if they have a warrant (or the local equivalent) in any sane democracy. Democracy does not mean that we have to let companies get away with crime or nicely tell them before a search so they can destroy evidence.

Democracy also doesn't mean that the authorities should ransack successful companies on a mere whim. Democracy also doesn't mean that the states and government should exercise their power limitlessly, nor turn their power into oppressing the people.

> How’s the US government handling Huawei again? Did the Atlantic Ocean close overnight?

This isn't about Huawei. The OP above me wrote about Google, and I included Nividia.

> Also, what makes you think that police investigations are more common than they used to be?

Obviously, this isn't something I'm going to be able to prove. Not all my arguments need to be backed by some sort of a sourceable evidence. If you don't want to believe this part of my statement, then don't, it's up to the reader to form their own opinion - that by no means discredits my post, since I'm obviously giving my opinion and you don't have to agree.

> Search, that’s the word you’re looking for.

Ransacked: search through (a place or receptacle) to find something, especially in such a way as to cause disorder and damage.

^ Yup, that's the one.
