Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of such moves, however people need to know that they can't simply take over something that holds the fundamental idea of decentralization.

We have invested by far to much energy, time and money to be overtaken buy someone who claimes to have 20 mil users. Like, no you don't.xD

The time will tell.
