In a statement posted on Twitter, the ruling party’s social media team wrote after investigating it determined “human error” by a hard working volunteer caused the mistake. The team said the cat filter was removed “within a few minutes.”
The team says actions have been taken to prevent “such an incident” in the future.
I guess someone is no longer a volunteer, hopefully they are still a human roaming free.

Yes, probably not the best recipe for a long and happy life.
The Libra Association is an independent, not-for-profit membership organization headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The association’s purpose is to coordinate and provide a framework for governance for the network and reserve and lead social impact grant-making in support of financial inclusion. This white paper is a reflection of its mission, vision, and purview. The association’s membership is formed from the network of validator nodes that operate the Libra Blockchain.

From technical paper:
Asynchrony: Consistency is guaranteed even in cases of network asynchrony (i.e., during periods of unbounded communication delays or network disruptions). This reflects our belief that
building internet-scale consensus protocol whose safety relies on synchrony would be inherently
both complex and vulnerable to Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks on the network.

They mean the US administration 
not facebook
Interesting how Mastercard, PayPal, PayU, Stripe, Visa all skipped over bitcoin and implemented their own crypto.
Facebook will fluctuate in value they say, it’s not directly pegged to a currency just by underlying assets they say.
Facebook does have a large user base , but they are not a user base with a recently full forked wallet. They have interesting adoption problem ahead.
I may be proven wrong, but Facebook coin is to crypto tech what Alan Sugars email phone was to the internet. Too late, not really innovative, backed by old money who may be supprised how fast their coin will reach zero.
MasterCard payment over the SAFEnetwork, that would be real progress.

It is actually a Blockchain tech with limits on,
- Spend per second
- Block chain heaviness
How will it achieve all those magical and frequent micropayments.
It will go as far as being a gateway to buy SAfECoin - that is if PayPal don’t start deciding what you spend your money on.

Coins are “mined” into existence by people adding fiat money to their accounts and burned when fiat money is withdrawn. When fiat money is the the system, Facebook will invest the money and take the revenue,that’s partly how they intend to make money.
So the libra coins should be backed 100% by fiat money unless the investments go bad.

. With Facebook coin being released, what other big names are out there scrambling for a great coin project to put their name on. Could Microsoft/Google or Amazon be soon knocking at Maidsafes door making some sort of, re-branding, offer?

The question would have to be - who has the most complimentary business model? I suspect SAFENetwork would cannibalize those 3’s markets, as they would many big names in IT.
Who has lots of data, isn’t in the business or storing or transiting it, has open sourced code, and would benefit from removing the cost of delivering it? Who would also benefit from using the platform instead of competing with it?
Hmmm… Netflix would be an interesting match!
NEW YORK: Netflix has the best corporate reputation among U.S. companies, according to a study released on Wednesday by the Reputation Institute.
The streaming giant was unaffected by the rest of the tech industry’s downward trend. Amazon, which held the top spot from 2014 to 2017, dropped out of the top 50; Google fell 63 spots out of the top 100; and the only company scored by the Reputation Institute with a lower score than Facebook was the Trump Organization.
“The tech sector has been under major pressure,” said Stephen Hahn-Griffiths, chief reputation officer at Reputation Institute. “Things like trust issues, data-privacy breaches, ethical standards; when you don’t have those things, they work against you in terms of your reputation.”
Would be a good match.
Imagine… a Netflix box in every home, masquerading as a Cable Box, but is a farming rig, it would certainly solve the netflix throttling applied by cable companies.
Netflix Coin.
They wouldn’t have to buy, own or takeover Maidsafe as they could use the tech when released. But sponsoring Maidsafe so they can complete the network would benefit Netflix.
Not just netflix… maybe Amazon film streaming also.
If these big companies knew how much their business models would benefit them they would be pouring money in to Ayr.
Imagine Netflix no longer having to spend money on server maintenance?!!! Their profits would boom!
High level leadership change in other companies does usualy preceed some form of merger… and if not seeking grant or donation from Netflix et all would be a great idea. From the quotes above netflix is interested in privacy.
Edit: Does this deserve its own topic.
I also think Jams would do well, they have technology to deliver media content.
I’ll make a prediction now.
One way or another, on network launch, SAFEnetwork gets noticed by Netflix. They further discover Jams has already developed media distribution technology on safenet, get an offer.
Within a few years we will be streaming netflix over SAFENet using Jams technology.
Netflix are forward thinkers, it’s why they survived and Blockbuster failed.
They need to be approached.

Another option closer to home? Not as big bucks, but could be interesting with similar aligning goals:
