> When you order someone to comply with something, you give them the amount of time it takes to do the task.

The French state didn't issue a mere suggestion a month ago, it was an order. The court just upheld the order. Amazon had the entire month to prepare.




This is not a logical position.

If Amazon cannot comply with the order in the time NOW given, then their only alternative is to suspend operations.

Whether or not they wasted time in the past, is irrelevant at this point.

I wasn't arguing that they should or should not close, I simply responded to OP comment that they didn't have enough time to comply, while they in fact had that time (not anymore).
