I wasn't referring to this specific case, but rather the mentality of big multinational companies when it comes to government interactions.

I've been in the C-suite when concerns about government regulation have been discussed. You "play ball" on some things in order to avoid other, worse things happening.

I have no idea if Zuckerberg made this trade-off.

I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised in the least if that was the strategy.

It's not like Facebook wasn't already in the hot seat when it came to Congress.
