Dragonfly is just the start
Google was called in this week to have a "candid conversation" with the regulator in Russia which mandates that any search engines interface to their API of prohibited content. If candid conversation does not work, fines will follow.
I believe they are scheduled similar conversations with regulators in other locations too - Turkey, Iran, etc.
When the regulator takes you by the balls via a fine calculated in global or even local turnover percentage your mind and soul tends to follow. Quite clearly that is so in the case of Google.
