Facebook is banning all advertisements for cryptocurrencies and ICOs

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Facebook is going to ban all advertisements for cryptocurrencies and ICOs.

To cite them exactly "FB will no longer accept ads that “promote financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices.”

In my view this is one more step to divide the Crypto-community and the "No-coiners".
Maybe this is even a further chance for social media networks like Steemit to gain more users/members.
Okay, advertisement can be getting on someones nerves, but it is sometimes also useful information, an not all ICOs advertised on facebook are scam.
