I'm skeptical if they'll go through with it...
According to their spokesperson, they have already stopped censoring.
That sounds a bit iffy to me. It's one thing to say "we want to
stop censoring, and will pull out if you don't let us", and "we are
breaking the law, nah, nah, nah".
I assume that this is coupled with the message that they will pull out
of China.

You don't like the law, don't do biz in that country. But blatantly
breaking a law is bad joo-joo.
