It may be speculation, but I honestly can't categorically state it is unfounded. I have no love for FB, and, as parent memtioned, they are hardly the only beneficiary of this particular loophole.
Then, if you recall FB recent stance on e2e, Barr's and Lindsay's comments, the question of political influence over IRS becomes much less an unlikely proposition.
It does not make it automatically true, but let us not pretend that IRS moves in mysterious ways.
To claim otherwise is to ignore context in which IRS goes after them. It may be completely unrelated, but it does raise questions.
