The "sudden" realisation of corporations and publications and celebrities that now xitter is bad, but a month ago it was fine, is one of the thinner veils I've seen for a while, and there are a lot of thin veils going around.
The truth is, they only care once their income (or other personal interest) is potentially threatened, not a millisecond sooner, and definitely not about the bigotry that's always been on there, but which has been completely undeniable for a good couple of years now, and which they were happy to turn a blind eye to this long.
If you think these people are allies, you're giving them waaaaaaay too much credit.
