Yes, let Facebook and Apple invent their own internet too, with no compatibility between them. Let's also allow Ford / GM to create their own roads exclusively for Ford / GM vehicles. /s
This is not businesses we are talking about, it's public infrastructure. And banking is a public infrastructure.

I have no faith in or trust in corporates. In a healthy democracy, Government regulations and standards are a MUST to protect us from the greed of the corporates, and to create a level playing field. Facebook is an american company and I applaud the wisdom of the Brazil policy makers to make it abide by their country's rules.
