I'm a tad confused about this card. If you have this card in a remote then you have an agenda in a second remote and the Runner makes a run at the second remote. Does that mean you can rez Zaibatsu to prevent them from accessing it. Or does this card's effect only work if the Runner uses something like Infiltration?

It only works against effects that specifically use the expression "expose".
Aka Infiltration etc.

How does this interact with Snitch? If I prevent the runner from exposing an unrezzed ICE, is the possibility to jack out from that ICE also forfeited?

Snitch says: Once per run, you may expose an unrezzed piece of ice when you approach it. You may then jack out.

So, good question. By preventing the expose, it seems like it would prevent the follow on option to jack out. However, I wouldn't be surprised by the ruling going either way.

I found a post on bgg (https://boardgamegee...206192#11206192) that had this quote in it:

If the Zaibatsu stops the Snitch from exposing a piece of ice, the Runner cannot jack out. Snitch uses the word "then" which means the previous effects must have resolved successfully

Also, note that the Runner can still jack out as normal if it is not the first piece of ice being encountered.

But I wasn't able to verify that it was official with a quick cross check, and I don't have time to dig into it so I'll leave it to someone else to pursue.
