Resisting Fed Pressure

Apropos Whitehouse pressuring Facebook to censor certain things. Feds crossing the line is nothing new. I was CEO of a troubled federally insured S and L in the 90's. Frequent were the efforts by DOJ/FBI to coerce private customer bank info from us holding out the threat that regulatory supervisors could be extra tough should we not comply. Generally, we resisted the pressure, but I can't say we were 100% virtuous.
