IBM responds to Trump’s remarks: "IBM has long raised serious concerns about the structure of the JEDI procurement. We continue to believe that the Department of Defense and our men and women in uniform would be best served by a multi-cloud strategy." — PolitiTweet.org

Via pool, Trump told reporters that “great companies” like Microsoft and Oracle are complaining about the Pentagon’s cloud contract potentially being awarded to Amazon and that he may investigate.

Why did Facebook choose Switzerland for the Libra Association? Gary Gensler suggests it’s possible that under Swiss law, Libra may be less likely to be considered a security. (Though I’m not sure how that helps FB if it still needs to assure US regulators of what it's doing.) — PolitiTweet.org

Putting this together with Facebook’s interest in developing countries, it wouldn’t surprise me if they have microlending in mind, and not just remittances, when they talk generally about reaching “the unbanked” — PolitiTweet.org

This is key: Marcus says Libra’s business model turns on two things: 1) Businesses on Facebook accepting digital payments which will help them grow and buy more ads on Facebook; and 2) Facebook will “offer a range of services [including] lower cost access to capital” — so…loans? — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting followup from Gonzalez: Could we see a Chinese enterprise join the Libra Association? Marcus seems to say it would be up to the Association, before Gonzalez again says that the Association would be controlled by Facebook, so there’s little difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Anthony Gonzalez argues Facebook essentially cherrypicked founding members of the Libra Association and they’re not accountable. “If we could hand select our voters, we’d feel pretty comfortable about being able to influence whatever decisions that are made.” — PolitiTweet.org

What does addressing “all” of the concerns look like? How many lawmakers, regulatory agencies, etc. are we talking about here? Will FB only proceed when it gets positive endorsement from all these stakeholders, or will it move forward so long as it feels it’s responded enough? — PolitiTweet.org
