One could argue that such a brand/business model itself induces self-censorship (if you want our money/business/work this is what you need to (not) do), but then again they've agreed to sign up to get revenue from Google.

There are different types of censorship, aside from total prohibition.

Some advertisers might object to being "associated" with such content, others might not. Could depend on what they're selling.

Interestingly, according to comments at the site in question, the same content that is objected to appears on other, much larger news sites, along with their ads.
