> the Biden admin forced him to censor Covid info

No, he said they “pressured” him. Important difference. The choice was still ultimately his, which he now says he regrets.

It really isn’t. What did the Biden administration threaten them with?

The question is what they could do to them. A lot.

My neighbor could murder me.

They don’t. Instead they drop off cookies. That matters quite a bit.

Your example has no merits on both key factors - means and motive.

Means - your neighbor has no way to murder you without very high risk of getting punished afterwards. Where is Biden could do to FB whatever he wanted without any risk to himself.

Motive - does your neighbor pressures you into doing something worth killing for?
