I for one would be really happy to see them follow through with this. I was very disappointed when they agreed to censor search results, although I can understand why they did so from a business standpoint... it seemed to go against the google mantra of "do no evil"...
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. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8455712.stm I think it is the modern corporate equivalent of recalling your ambassador. Regards Marshall
You don't like the law, don't do biz in that country. But blatantly breaking a law is bad joo-joo.
