It's probably more indirect. The same thing with movie studios censoring content in order to push it to Chinese markets or google creating a different search engine/algorithm for those in China.

These companies want access to eyeballs, advertising, and user/data aggregation. When a govt says you need to play by these XX rules, shitty companies that don't care about anything their users comply with it, or worse yet, look at it as their "duty" to bring their product to "the people".
