Allegation on Facebook for helping LIBRA – PayPal, has dropped out Face book Plan
House Financial Services Committee shall inquire the matter
Zuckerberg is likely to face critical questions from US lawmakers who are scared of Facebook’s efforts to help launch a global cryptocurrency called Libra. Previously federal government charged Facebook in March with violating fair lending laws, alleging that company sold targeted advertising that was racially discriminatory.
Zuckerberg’s meetings with lawmakers focused on the future of internet regulation, which poses a threat to Facebook’s core business. Facebook is under review by investigators at the Federal Trade Commission, a coalition of state attorneys general and the House Judiciary Committee for its competitive practices.
