So why advertise on a platform that follows anti-prettymucheverything values?

Because the companies don't care about woke. They don't care about whether the platform "follows" certain types of "values." They care about whether their brands will be harmed if they advertise on the site.

How many blackmailers openly say, "If you don't do what I want you to do, I'm going to <insert threat here>"? Most folks don't confess their crimes openly.

Which doesn't mean that every time someone makes a decision not to do business with a company blackmail.

Musk has done things that make his business less attractive for advertisers. If you do something that makes your company less attractive to your customers, some of your customers will leave. They're not blackmailing you when they decide to take their business elsewhere.

So when TikTok was promoting content praising Bin Laden's letter on 9/11, that doesn't violate the ToS?<//i>

Don't know - but for most companies, as long as their brands weren't associated with that content, they won't care. Because - again - this isn't a values thing for them, but a brand protection issue.
