Facebook wants to ban political ads?

Facebook wants to ban political ads?  Honestly, that makes no sense. If a candidate wants to spend money to get their message out, why should that be prohibited? One can sell crappy, low-quality products on Facebook but someone running for office should not be able to spend money to advance their ideas?

Why would anyone join Mark Zuckerberg's Cryptocurrency scheme?

I think cryptocurrencies may indeed be part of the future, especially because governments around the world have destroyed the value of their currencies. (And it is only going to get worse with time).. However, why would I get a cryptocurrency backed by some creepy authoritarian mastermind like Mark Zuckerberg? The whole point of cryptocurrencies is to move beyond centralized control. Zuckerberg will fail.
