It's all about the money. There's major pressure on large cooperations to boycott Facebook at the moment due to their position on hate speech, and many companies have joined the boycott. Companies have been taking looks at their advertising and it seems like major ad buyers have decided they don't want to have their ads shown on websites that allow this type of content. I would guess the timing was the same, because a major ad buyer sent them the same message on the same day or they were all thinking about it and once one pulled the trigger they all felt like they had to/could follow suite. I'm not sure I buy the argument that it targets one political side. Reddit's main ban yesterday was its most active leftist subreddit. The bottom line is these bans will target anything that hurts these companies' ad revenue.
