The CEO said the company will stand for his principles, regardless of whether or not it upset a lot of people “” or not. Specifically, Zuckerberg spoke about strong encryption, and freedom of expression as a core piece of the new approach. Both areas are hot been discussed, where Facebook has fallen in December because of its rules for political advertising seriously in the criticism.

With the announcement of Zuckerberg brings in a proverbial predicament. Thus, the Libra receives support from government sources, it must be increasingly transparent.
