That’s incorrect. You’re conflating commercial reasons with political reasons. That’s likely happening because a political party in the US has taken on the mantle of unpopular or hurtful speech protectors and labeled it political. But the reality is the corporate decisions are entirely based on protecting of their corporate brand and the value of their reputation as “safe” and “family friendly,” and are in line with the demographics that make them money and support their share value. They have no concern or desire to control thought, except for and up to improving their revenues.

The other one is literally trying to shape the minds and thoughts of their populace to explicitly control them in all aspects of their life. It’s not limited to improving revenue, it’s pervasive and complete, and is augmented with guns and prisons.
