That kind of argumentation tends not to hold up in court, and for good reason. If the f---ing White House reaches out to your company and makes a polite request, it is NOT a good idea to ignore that request. Because, you know, the implication.
The courts tend to hold up this view that when there is such a massively asymmetric power relationship, like there is here, then even a polite request is really a demand. No reasonable company beholden to its shareholders could justify pushing back against the highest levels of the executive branch.

- jqpabc123 5y agoTFA makes an unfounded accusation. Using TFA as proof is circular logic. Yes, the Biden administration has admitted giving medical info/advice to Facebook. Any associated request or demand is unproven accusation. For all we know, Facebook requested their input.
