My understanding is they disabled access to data that was stored in the US, and their intent to "ensure due process rights are respected in the event of an extrajudicial raid" seems reasonable to me. Uber's lawyers say that no data was deleted and can still be obtained by law enforcement. If I was pulled over and had my car searched by police, I would not expect them to use my keys to then search my home without due process. If I felt that was a risk, I think changing my locks is entirely reasonable, as it doesn't prevent a legitimate search warrant. I see this as hijacking a companies computers to export confidential data they were not otherwise entitled to from a foreign country.
