I don't believe it really made a big difference in the price. BTC have been going up anyway.
I don't think she has any legal authority to force Facebook to stop developing Libra. She probably does have the authority to subpoena Facebook executives to testify before her committee.
I also don't think there is a basis for being concerned that Facebook has a lot of data on its users, when discussing Libra. Most of what Facebook has access to is irrelevant to Libra, and banks have access to much more relevant information about their customers, especially their long standing customers, and they have access to information contained in third party databases such as credit reporting agencies.
The concept of a stablecoin is also not new, and stablecoins have had mainstream acceptance in the crypto space for years now.
There are a lot of reasons to be concerned about Facebook, but IMO libra is not one of them.
What Facebook and Google knows about you is more dangerous than what your bank knows. They know your routine, they know who your friends are, etc.
Back to Libra, what people is worrying is that it can get to the point where it's the only way to transact. I believe there are already establishments that only accept credit cards. Basically the scenario some fear is that businesses would only accept credit card or government-approved cryptos.
