Ha ha, one of the Four Horsemen of the Random Internet Apocalypse. If "But Terrorists!" doesn't work, I predict you'll see "But child porn!" or "But Bombs!" pulled out next. "But Intellectual Propery!" has kind of fallen out of favor these days, after every musician publicly denounces any political opponent who uses his/her music.

And other cryptocurrencies cannot? I don't like FB and I personally wouldn't use Libra because it seems to defeat a couple reasons for even using a cryptocurrency.

I don't care for the precedent this commentary would have on product introductions in general. "I don't like 'x' from company 'y' because terrorism!" Yeah whatever, unfair comparison.
