As I said elsewhere this is not related to Novi. Novi is just a wallet using DIEM, and will have its own users (like any wallet or bank or trading platform has).

That being said, there is a lot of work being put in making sure that FB doesn't have access to Novi user data. Of course, sometimes one employee's mistake can lead to infringement of a claim, so to avoid that good frameworks have to be put into place.

What other Diem Association members have even announced plans to issue a wallet?

As I understand, that number is presently zero. (Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.) And unhosted wallets won't be allowed - all consumers will need to transact via a Diem Association member. So Diem usage really is 100% Novi for the known future.

Hey David! I'm actually unsure about these so I'd rather not comment besides the fact that Diem being 100% Novi would be bad (or useless) yes.
