David Marcus, the executive leading Facebook's Libra efforts, to me last week: "I think the level of scrutiny is absolutely warranted. And sure, is it the fact that it started at Facebook makes it more politically interesting? Of course." https://t.co/r1FJhqrqb3

This letter reflects an important recognition by policymakers: the need to understand and mitigate the potential downsides of new technologies - including for national security and democracy - before they are deployed. Hope SV shares this recognition. https://t.co/WdQeUCUqdr

For a few years, crypto has enjoyed a honeymoon phase: big enough to be relevant, but not so big as to seriously threaten the status quo.

Libra may be bringing that phase to a close. Hard questions are coming our way now, and Facebook's the one answering.https://t.co/mwxU9wyOKz

FB on letter from Congress asking it to pause work on Libra: "We look forward to working with lawmakers as this process moves forward, including answering their questions at the upcoming House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committee hearings."

Translation: not pausing!

We and partners are demanding that Congress and regulators impose a moratorium on Facebook’s global currency, Libra.

The risks posed by Libra are too great to allow the plan to proceed with so many unanswered questions. https://t.co/sEP6EyYkzH

.@Facebook wants to create its own money--subject to the whims of private corporations. We have a lot of questions (& so do over 30 other orgs, organized by @Public_Citizen).
This has the potential to trigger a global economic crisis.https://t.co/6jLGaZIg0k pic.twitter.com/pB1JNcpdVD

https://t.co/BkSc8Kb0I9 FB didn't plan on this reaction, they miscalculated and what they must realize is that the gov't is now knowledgeable enough about tech to be dangerous. This ends badly for Libra. FB should have been more transparent earlier than crafty with the congress.
