> in America we have less trust in government and more trust in the individual

Maybe, excepted that Facebook is not an individual. Compagnies are not individual.

They are just private entities seeking for their own profit and should be treated as such.

There is no trust to have in Facebook: if they can fuck half of the world to double their benefits, they will do it. That's it.

Trusting such entity to ensure "common good of people" through a currency is simply madness. And Libra is exactly that.

I'm sorry if it shock the American "free" way of thinking, but this is our European way of thinking.

Corporations are exercises or government power, in fact.
