Many insist it wasn't illegal for the White House to demand greater censorship by Facebook, but it was. Not only did Biden threaten Facebook's legal (Sec. 230) status, Facebook desperately needed Biden to force Europe to allow data flows into the US, which he did. Quid pro quo.

Michael Shellenberger: The White House didn’t violate the First Amendment when it demanded more censorship by Facebook, many say. But newly released emails show Facebook execs felt pressure to comply with White House demands in order to save its $1.2B/year advertising business in the European Union.
