There is a lot of talk about carbon and hydrogen, in the linked statement, but I miss nitrogen in the story. Life as it has developed on Earth totally depends on the differences between strong (nitrogen) and weak (hydrogen) bonds. It takes an awful lot of energy to break the triple bond of atmospheric nitrogen to be able to use it in organic compounds. For example, Adenine contains a lot of it, and is used in DNA, RNA and the energy carrier ATP / ADP.

They did. It is called W.social (pronounced as "ewww dot social") and is a giant failure that is Dead On Arrival and (even if the European Commision boasts otherwise) still relies on US servers for Identity checking. Luckily, this identity checking is so cumbersome and intrusive that only journalists have tried it, just to report on how bad the experience is.
