>and/or their businesspeople and advertisers think these policies will bring in more money

Yes this is the reason. They will continue to stifle speech so its more palatable for corporations to run ads on their platform. Censoring art and dissent is working well for the people you agree with right now. 60 years ago the current culture would have been unfathomable. In 60 years it may be unfathomable to you again, but now you've taken the stand that it's right and just that they stifle dissent. Hope that never bites you.

I think money is a reason, but I don't think that's the only reason. If I was in a position of power there, I would endorse the same policy purely on ethical grounds, even if it for some reason harmed our relationship with advertisers. I suspect some of the employees there feel the same way.
