They already are. It came out recently that the FBI leaned on Mark Zuckerberg to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Zuckerberg was free not to listen to anything the FBI had to say. No one forced him to do anything.

This is either dishonest or naive. Federal law enforcement "advice" always comes with a hidden message of "Nice company you've got there. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it."

And what, exactly, would the FBI have done? File a lawsuit? As if Facebook doesn't know how to handle a lawsuit?

Zuckerberg said so in an interview. Google it and you can see the video. The FBI did not deny it, so safe to say it's true.
