They're getting ready for public launch. Google overplayed their hand, they'll pay the price rather soon. Do not ever blackmail countries.

Facebook and Google search have no leverage like they think. Any country can insta ban them like China did, and have their own alternative at this point if they talk too much and don't follow the local laws. They'll figure it out rather soon.
