That all depends on what the law actually says and the resources and will to enforce it.
Speech/information is difficult to control, but given a draconian enough law and enforcement posture, and there can be a very significant result. You can't stop everyone, but at some point you throw enough people in prison that you've effectively suppressed it.
Not that I think that would actually happen here, but it's certainly possible.
