Along those lines, how is it possible for Facebook to demand that CA deleted the data, when CA is a third party and never had any kind of agreement with facebook(at least, relating to the information Kogan shared)?

If someone leaks facebook data to a journalist, can FB demand that they delete it as well?

CA is a major customer of Facebook whose work has no free press implications. They can ask them to do whatever they want.

Anyone can "demand" anything they want; many times it's up to the recipient to decide whether or not they comply with said demands.
