"A post by Stephen Diehl about Facebook Libra is making the rounds
this morning. It makes a number of claims about flaws in the software.
Many of these claims are factually inaccurate. I consider it to be a
gish gallop that bombards you with a bunch of negative claims, many of
which are false or at best, specious."
