"buckles"

"silences"

"censors"

I find the word choices here fucking hilarious. They removed ad revenue, they didn't shut the site down or delete the article. Secondly, they didn't "buckle" to pressure, they responded according to what they were told. No company wants to have themselves related to any company or site that is considered controversial.
