A now-old song has the lyrics "everybody knows that the dice are loaded" and, outside of "doing it for the lulz," part of this exercise is to expose the collusion as a kind of carnival. Watch Big Tech scramble to the aid of Big Money! Witness the flimsiest of excuses being generated in the hopes that one will stick! See with your own eyes the scramble to protect the usual suspects! And what is pretty amazing is that some folks think that if they just stamp out this one, they can go back to (big) business as usual: money made by a select few, and the small fry can hope that some crumbs might trickle down to them, if only by accident. My bet is that this is going to happen again -- perhaps not exactly the same way, but it will be another nasty demonstration of the self-protection that has managed to be the sign of the entrenched.
