No, they’re not. They’ll get away with anything until Trump is out of office.

Prove me wrong

This simply gives the Trump Administration and future administrations more leverage to get Meta to do its bidding.

They already have all the leverage they need. Don’t blame me for pointing that out.

Who is blaming who for what? I agree with your first comment, I'm just expanding on what I believe are the further implications. People like Trump will never feel they have "enough" leverage over others.
