Well, FOIA requests revealed Facebook was extremely cooperative with both enacting government censorship requests, and keeping them secret, when those same censorship requests would have been utterly illegal if they were an official order, so…
Some deal like “You give us control over information and we leave your monopoly alone”, even unspoken, seems to be the gist of it.

I’m not implying anything. I’m outright saying. That the US government is corrupt enough to take kickbacks by corporations for political favors. I’m also saying Zuck didn’t bribe Trump’s admin enough (i.e. donations to his inaugural fund) to get away with their bullshit.
