Libra Association is responsible for running validator nodes, server clusters, process transactions. Association is responsible for add or removes Libra from circulation. At the start of Libra association, it will run 100 of nodes. The circulation of Libra will increase as more partners join.

Libra is centralised and computed only by Libra validator nodes. To validate the nodes, Libra uses a system known as Byzantine fault tolerance. In this system, each node finds a way to reach consensus even when the node can’t agree at all of its states.

In a research by Gizmodo, It is revealed that more than a quarter of American teenagers are using the Do Not Track tools to safeguard their privacy online. Unfortunately, this results shows that browser like Google doesn’t work as accurately as it should be.

Currently, only some of the websites like Reddit, Pinterest and Medium respect the Do Not Track settings. Sites like Yahoo, Twitter doesn’t respect the Do Not Track tools.

Mozilla has shown their disappointment regarding this issue, it says “In the physical world, users wouldn’t expect hundreds of vendors to follow them from store to store, spying on the products they look at or purchase. Users have the same expectations of privacy on the web, and yet, in reality, they are tracked wherever they go. Most web browsers fail to help users get the level of privacy they expect and deserve”.

Some companies like Google and Microsoft have been constantly pushing the Do Not Track tool in the browsers. But this latest research shows it is completely useless. Tracking of user information is still a bigger concern especially on the phones which have the Android operating systems.
