The fact that Twitter users are using hashtags to encourage the deletion of Facebook accounts is funny considering they are part of the whole Alphabet/Google group themselves...and it was only a matter of time before Twitter announced their own ban on all things Crypto! I guarentee several other (google strategic partners either ongoing or past) high profile Tech/Finance/Media companies will follow suit in the coming months. Its obvious to me that this is a long term plan to allow Alphabet/Google to face less competition when (not if) they reveal their as yet unannounced blockchain assets. As of late, its been acquiring and investing in startups with digital ledger expertise. Many of these deals haven’t been announced officially but research firm CB Insights reported Alphabet was a leading corporate investor in the field last year, ahead of Bank of America, Citigroup Inc., and Goldman Sachs Group Inc! Except for Japanese company SBI Holdings, CB Insights lists Alphabet as the largest corporate blockchain investor with six investments through its Google Ventures arm. Finally i found this statement from Scott Spencor, FB head of sustainable ads..."We don't have a crystal ball to know where the future is going to go with cryptocurrencies, but we've seen enough consumer harm or potential for consumer harm that it's an area that we want to approach with extreme caution." This was March 14th. I think after reading all of the above this statement says it all! Have a good read of Wikipedia's pages aswell and count the number of lies, contradictions and legal issues...they have been at it from the very start. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google#Criticism_and_controversy
