I really want to see what happens if Facebook says no.

Maybe Facebook doesn't say "no".

Maybe Facebook says "How about if we share all the data with your agents real time through an API."?

BTW Maxine, isn't your re-election coming up? We really like what you are doing in Washington here's a check for some signs.

(or something along these lines)

It's not a law, it's a request. You just acquiesce without making any concrete commitments and carry on as if the request was never made.

It would not go well for Facebook. Their lawyers won't let them say no.
