If Facebook agreed to pay five billion dollars of penalties due to leakage of confidential information about its users, then it is worth it. This social networking giant has a significantly higher profit. But what will happen if the US Congress adopts a prepared bill against the emergence of the Libra coin is hard to say. It seems to me that Facebook will not risk releasing it, because the sanctions will be much bigger and regular. We can rather see a similar coin in China, since Huawei already declares such readiness. China will ignore the opinion of the US government.
Yeah, it is possible. I created a topic regarding 'Huawei coin' with more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5169023.0Question is. What will USA say after this info from Huawei? If they dont allow Libra to start with too much regulation, they risk that China become the first country with centralized state crypto coin in the world... Tricky... |

Resurrecting this topic from hibernation  Is it possible to simply create custom rules for uBlock extension for blocking bitcointalk ads? https://github.com/gorhill/uBlockYes. But you will need to block every ad element seperately. Might seem like a lot of work, but it can be done fairly easily. Simply choose the element you want to block with eyedropper and make the filter. refresh the page a couple times until every ad is gone. But... Only do this if you must. Ads help the forum, and in part often it's users. I would love to see that done one day  It would be universal and for all browsers with uBlock extension I meant it like this https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-lists-from-around-the-webhttps://filterlists.com/ |

I think they will make some changes,
but give more energy for their new monster baby called Libra coin.
They know that with Libra they will do all this again, and even more.
They will follow 100% of all users transactions and actions,
and in the same time they will make a deal with government.
Imagine the implications.... Imagine total centralisation. This is something that governments do too, the problem here is not because governments are concerned about people, governments are concerned because they have facebook accounts... governments are concerned that they are not spying but someone else spying them. If facebook made an exclusive deal with the US government, then I doubt the US government would criticize them, but as facebook shows no side, it sells the data to anyone who pays them, so many countries criticize. The pound will be accepted in the future by all these countries that today show concern because the pound will do the same thing that facebook has done to this day. nothing will change, things will only get worse for ordinary people Don't forget that Libra will be based in Europe, Switzerland. CNBC: Facebook Has Not Contacted Swiss Regulators On Libra’s RegistrationFacebook and Swiss Regulators: A Continuing Saga
I agree with you, and people running the show are very selfish |

Interesting, we could start a new wave of country launching their own version of Libra Coin, if China decided to start one to compete, with Facebook, another country can start a new coin, and if that becomes successful who knows every country will have their own Libra coin.
Very possible dark future, sadly  That is why Bitcoin is so important. |

I'd love to have an idea where the whole decentralized community will compete with Facebook, it's possible we just need capable developers to set up one social networking site that will respect our data, it's a gigantic task but we are growing as a Bitcoin and decentralized believers.
I don't think we'll compete with Facebook, as privacy concerned users would probably never use them. I'd honestly be surprised to see a privacy concerned user who joins such communities are also active on Facebook or other social media. Unless somehow they use a fake account. On another side, Facebook dominance is really big for mainstream users. And I doubt it will change soon. Anything is possible! - Not so long ago we could not imagine to talk with anyone in the world for free, now we have Viber, Skype, Telegram and similar apps. - We could not imagine Bitcoin could challenge US dollar, but we see what is happening now What we need to do is to make something BETTER than centralized Facebook, then people will slowly switch to. We don't even need to take all facebook part off the cake to make it a success. |

They want to do it because they are greedy and wanted to make more money out of the crypto market. They know that having their own token, they will have total control. That's why many crypto enthusiast are shunning away from Libra.
As far as the Chinese version, I think it wouldn't gain that much traction. Probably in their country, but outside the sphere, this will be just another shitcoin, IMHO.
You know China is a country with one of the largest population on earth, and they have copy clones for every single application available in the western world? QQ and WeChat, (Chinese Whatsapp clone) Renren (chinese facebook clone) Weibo (chinese Twitter clone) Youku Tudou (chinese youtube cloen) Dianping, Douban.... I am not surprised by this move at all. |

I think blockchain technology is great for creating one alternative social media network, that will enable users to have privacy and freedom of speech. I would like to see new DexBook in the future Nobody can be banned from there, except if majority of users votes for it maybe Maybe its just my dream and facebook is to strong ...maybe not |

Holy crap, that's an enormous fine. Do I think Facebook will change their practices as a result of this? Probably, unless their plan is to figure out a way around it, and who knows what's in their heads.
They may not have a choice if they want to avoid further consequences, and I doubt any company wants can take multiple billion-dollar hits like this and still survive. The thing I wonder is how much this is going to affect their profits, since I'm sure part of their business plan called for selling their members' information.
In any case, screw Facebook. This is why I stopped using them in 2010, and I'm glad I never looked back. They're worse than Google.
I am afraid we cant shake them that easy What we can do is not use real profiles and info for FB, change search engine, minimize usage, and support some decentralized alternatives |

Banks have never stopped with their shady activities after having paid billions in fines, so it's safe to assume that Facebook won't be stopping either. Governments don't mind them because it means billions of extra income.
If governments really cared they would find a way to get banks to not make the same mistake again, but why would they? It's much more profitable to let these corporations make the same mistake over and over again.
The only way for Facebook to stop is to have people stop using them on a worldwide scale, but that's not going to happen either. We have to accept that this is the way the system works. It's pointless to wait for improvements.
In some ways we are forced to use banks. Some companies tell you in which bank you can receive salaries, at least in my country its like that. But who force people to use facebook? How many people will pay attention on what facebook is doing with their data? More then 2 billion people have account there! I bet that more than 90% from all of them doesn`t even know what facebook is doing and for penalties they are paying. Question is how many people is aware of what banks are doing too. People need to educate themselves, I can`t think off any other conclusion. People need to learn about what they are using, and to try to understand how system works. When majority becomes more educated we can change the world. What is even more shocking is that most of the people nowadays don't even care if someone uses their data and information and sells it... Imagine that same thing for them using crypto  After listening senate hearing...I think that all government want is SWITCH OFF button to any person they want. And Facebook will provide them that 'function' I am 100% sure. They cant have that with cash money, gold or Bitcoin. |

Anyone here likes to play Puzzles... and they are actually good and that? I have some unsolved, and my brain is not capable to crack them  Do you mean Bitcoin puzzle problems? (no) If you count sudokus as puzzles too, then yes. I think I am pretty good, but I still like to play at levels easy/medium and make them more difficult by adding extra challenges. Examples: -by fully filling one 3x3 grid at a time -solving only full lines/columns at a time. I am also planning to try to do a very easy soduku completely in my head before filling it to a paper, but haven't done it yet (completely in my head. Without seeing the paper) I mean puzzles in general. I tried to solve few crypto puzzles, but its hard man |
