Could they? Wouldn't Facebook would only be an investor and Libra would be a separate company?

Seems hard to have any prominent integration without having libra related infrastructure on fb servers, and all infra with ”libra” on it is likely to get seized in a raid.

But sure, if libra is just an altcoin on unrelated hardware then fb won’t be affected.

A company as large as fb has the means to segregate application hardware. Hell, even smaller companies do this for liability reasons. If fb didn't it would be pretty lazy and ill conceived.
