Obama Sides with Cameron in Encryption Fight
What if Google says, "no"? What if they choose to implement a service that they don't have keys to?

They will force them to create a backdoor. Just like they did with Microsoft's products.

They have offices in other country, e.g., Switzerland. Couldn't they avoid having to create backdoors by running the service in question from there?

Absolutely not. No first world country would host it, especially one that has strong ties to the US like Switzerland now does. This isn't the 1960s.

It was my impression that Switzerland had a name for being crypto and privacy friendly. It sounds odd to me that the US making a law would automatically mean that every other country with strong ties to the US would follow it as well.
