That's a whole lot of words to state two extremely simple, extremely ridiculous positions:
1. Any government agency can be construe to hold power over any private party, therefore no government agency can make a request without an overtone of coercion, so therefore no government agency can make a request. I know you don't acknowledge you're making this argument, but you de facto are.
2. The government's general warnings about cyber and misinformation threats priming content moderators such that they misfired on a specific decision without any government input whatsoever (never mind coercion or threat!) is tantamount to collusion to suppress speech.
Can't find other words than: extremely ridiculous.
