What Would Facebook Regulation Look Like? Start With the FCC
What Would Facebook Regulation Look Like? Start With the FCC
"Even if antitrust enforcement moves forward, social welfare regulations are also required. This is why there have also been calls for the creation of a new regulatory agency focused on digital platforms. Such an agency would need to be able to address not only concerns about competition but also these broader social welfare concerns. Essentially, then, we need a robust public interest framework for platform regulation."

After the bubble, then crash, of 2017 and 2018, it’s natural to ask, ‘What do we use this stuff for?’ DeFi is the first legitimate answer to the question. DeFi is starting to have its moment because it’s the next chapter for crypto.”

How Anti-Money-Laundering Rules Hinder Libra's Mission to Reach the Unbanked
How Anti-Money-Laundering Rules Hinder Libra's Mission to Reach the Unbanked
The Libra Association is thinking of radical approaches to reach the unbanked in certain locations, including a “step-ladder” approach to KYC regulations. The FATF said it is open to working with Libra about potentially building new forms of digital identity. Libra believes blockchain forensics firms like Chainalysis, Elliptic and Coinfirm will help strengthen the case for “tiered KYC” by monitoring wallet profiles and transaction histories. Non-profits in the Libra Association like the Kiva Foundation may play a key role.
