Twitter-affiliated is interesting too since the pretend to care so much about the issue. Well, they seem to care on a very personal level.

They care the minimum amount required to shut up their vocal employees on this issue.

When corporations take a stand on an issue, they're just making a bet on who they think is going to win, it's got nothing to do with morals.

I guarantee if Trump got legitimately reelected with 80% of the vote, you'd see every company quickly replacing those "We Stand with BLM" banners with some bright red MAGA flair.
