The FAA can consider the logging of "free flight time" as compensation.

If you use that time to qualify for a rating or to satisfy recency
experience, then they might have a case. Labeling any flight time as
compensation is bogus. You can log whatever you want. You can even log
flights you made at your local video arcade. The FAA has no business
looking into your personal logs except the ones you submit to them as
satisfying the required recency experience, which better be true and
correct. They would need a court order to ask for all other
information such as personal logbooks and financial records, and you
would have to have done something very serious for them to go that
far. For that matter, you can't accept money for driving your grandma
to the drug store either. That is commercial operation.
