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