PR gold rush on Charlottesville?

Seems like most tech companies are rushing to take action that shows that they are against white supremacy after the Charlottesville attacks:
* Cloudflare dropped a white supremacy site
* Apple disabled payments to them and donated to ADL and others
* Spotify removed a few bands
* AirBnB cancelled reservations of white supremacists (before the attack actually)
What's motivating this? Are there threats coming from leftist groups or is this just a gold rush for their PR depts to signal their virtue?
(I'm very much anti-white-supremacist also, but companies of the size of these tend to take actions like this out of business need rather than actual ethics)

Nothing more.
They have their virtue signalling departments all working overtime to make sure the whole world can clearly see how Holy & Righteous they are.
