The comment I was responding to seemed to be proposing it.

I don't know about India, but in the US, there's been a major debate about whether govt can force platforms to retain posts and several attempted lawsuits over it.

I don't think so. comment wasn't merely presenting its take on things not proposing govt should force fb to do something.
