Swiss group that’s supposed to oversee privacy for Libra says it hasn’t heard from Facebook at all

The Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) whom Facebook's David Marcus cited as the overseer of privacy for crypto project Libra has not heard from the social media giant, according to CNBC. Speaking to CNBC, FDPIC's Hugo Wyler said:

We have taken note of the statements made by David Marcus, Chief of Calibra, on our potential role as data protection supervisory authority in the Libra context. Until today we have not been contacted by the promoters of Libra,” Wyler said. “We expect Facebook or its promoters to provide us with concrete information when the time comes. Only then will we be able to examine the extent to which our legal advisory and supervisory competence is given. In any case, we are following the development of the project in the public debate.
