How is that legally sound?

    OK, let me be more specific. How is the request legally sound?

      I don't understand your question. What's there to be legally sound about? The Feds make a request, the site has to comply.

        Why are they allowed to request this with no reason? Why can the government dictate what I'm doing with no legal basis?
