That’s a huge simplification.
If you don’t have they keys, you can’t hand them over, for one thing.
Also, the wrench treatment is extremely unlikely in most democracies. Now, deplatforming such as seizure of DNS names and such, is another matter and varies, often orthogonally to the risk of wrench treatment.

Even in the US you can only avoid it if you're careful; if you admit to knowing the keys then you can't. Either way you're dealing with the "criminal prosecution process" as GP pointed out.
