They don't sell ads on the web though, so I don't see how this would be related.

I kinda have two answers to this:

  1. Not yet,

  2. It was more an intent to show that they're not some shining defender of the ad-free private internet, who would never take action to defend a potential future revenue stream if they thought it might be profitable later.

Remember everyone, corporations are not your friends, your buddy, your pal, or even slightly gives a shit about you beyond how much money they can extract from your wallet and anything that's in the way of them doing so they'll work around, stomp on, and kill by any means necessary.
