   Sadly no, because social media corporation thrive on the protection of the   
   government, being corporations. That means they have to kneel down before   
   them, or lose their status and risk law suits from the government.   
      
   However...   
      
   I'd say that this is a great opportunity to look through your social media   
   and shift to self-hosting, or decentralized, open source solutions. By   
   their very nature, not being corporations, and by being much, much smaller   
   and insignificant, they, for the moment, slip through the cracks and they   
   also usually support much stronger anonymity than the corporations.
