positions of the Respondent and Google LLC are consistent to the effect that Google LLC has no presence in Hong Kong. The Appellant does not ' seriously dispute the Respondent s findings that, (a) Google HK, though a subsidiary of Google LLC, is a different legal entity from Google LLC; and (b) The function of Google LLC is to act as operator and administrator of the services of the internet search engine whereas Google HK only serves to provide marketing and support of the Hong Kong businesses. (c) All the evidence collected and found by the Respondent in the course of its investigation points to the conclusion that all operations of Google LLC in relation to the internet search engine are performed outside of Hong Kong and Google LLC simply has no presence in Hong Kong. The above conclusions from the evidence obtained by Google LLC are simply not contradicted by the Appellant who has produced no contrary evidence. * 78. At the hearing the Appellant simply submitted that the domain of google.com.hk” is registered by Google (HK) Limited and hence Google “ HK should have control over the subject data. The Board finds that there is no merit in the said contention of the Appellant which is not supported by any evidence. The domain of “google.com.hk” has nothing to do with the identity of the person who controls the operation of the search engine. 55
