In the span of one week, four big corporate partners have backed out of Facebook’s controversial plan to launch a digital currency called Libra. 一周时间内4大合作伙伴退出了Facebook颇具争议的名为Libra的电子货币计划。 PayPal bailed last Friday, and now eBay, Mastercard, and Stripe are tripping over each other on their way out the door. PayPal上周五撤出,现在eBay、万事达卡和Stripe也相继退出。 Another major partner, Visa, has also been reportedly “reconsidering” its role in the noNPRofit organization charged with running Libra, according to the Wall Street Journal. 据《华尔街日报》报道,另外一个主要合作伙伴维萨据说也在“重新考虑”其在负责管理Libra的非营利性组织中所扮演的角色。 The departures follow opposition to the project from France as well as the House Financial Services Committee—the latter will get to hear from CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself in a hearing on October 23. 这些公司退出是因为此前法国和美国国会众议院金融服务委员会反对这一项目,该委员会将在10月23日的听证会上听取首席执行官马克·扎克伯格的证词。 The Libra Association’s remaining partners, including Uber, S-potify, and Coinbase, plan to gather next week in Geneva, Switzerland, to appoint a board of directors for the group. Uber、声田和比特币公司等剩余的Libra协会合作伙伴计划下周在瑞士日内瓦会面,为集团委任董事会。 |
