Facebook Gives Crypto Ads the Thumbs Down.

Facebook has issued an outright ban. As of a new ruling issued on January 30, “ads must not promote financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices, such as binary options, initial coin offerings, or cryptocurrency”. The move is sure to be welcomed by Facebook users and bitcoin enthusiasts alike, who recognize that these adverts do little to promote the benefits of cryptocurrency.

Oh its hot news. So now there wont be any facebook campaign in upcoming ICO bounties?Anyway good move from facebook. They should have done this before.

This is trash! I am going over to facebook now to make a post on Cryptocurrency.

This is gonna be a big problem for newbies, aside from the fact that they will have a hard time ranking up, now they cannot even join a facebook campaign.

Great news. Most of them that do ads on Facebook are scams anyway.

And what do companies do now? Who connected facebook, but what about people who earn in bounty ?! It's not fair, I hope it's a lie. >:(

It's a bad news for bounty hunters at the same time good news for me because even in fb messenger the crypto ads are there it's annoying.

So now there wont be any facebook campaign in upcoming ICO bounties?

No this will not be the case because they are banning Advertisements not content. In a FB bounty you are not promoting ads for an ICO but rather the ICO itself through content on their fb page, website, and other social media pages. facebook campaigns should not be effected by this other than the fact that ICOs cant have you sharing their ICO ads anymore.

Well, to make reposts we can, but to write your own message would be a problem. You will need to write about the product, not the conduct of the ICO

This should be done a year ago when scam ICO-s were spread like a wild fire on facebook. But as they say, later better than never :)

I agree too, all ads is shit coin

I've already noticed that on this passed days when I shared a post from a Facebook page of an ICO and Im notified that my shared posts is deleted by facebook. It was stated there that its a spam on facebook that contain links from a website. Maybe we should just avoid puting some links on our shared posts.

True. I don't go to facebook to look for an ICO. Everything have it's own marketplace. Spending a large amount on untargeted group of people via a social network is just waste of resources.

You must put all the explanation about that. There is missing piece "the examples". It is stated there that "promotional financial products" like "use your retirement to invest in crypto" some thing like that. Well, I think, ICO's facebook page must modify their posts and links to avoid outright banning from facebook. Facebook campaign may also be affected especially when you are sharing their promotional posts. Crypto world is getting tougher and tougher.

on facebook a lot of people are engaged in crypto-currencies, give useful advice, hold meetings and presentations, conduct news channels, are they also subject to sanctions? this is very bad news. and of course for the bounty hunters it's sad.

wow, this is sad news for the crypto currency world, the question is why did they do that ?

My options here are :


1) based on the amount of unmonitored scams happening on facebook related to the crypto world.

2) Mass control, they'r trying to keep people out of crypto world, because it may lead on them evading goverment controls over our money.

Why oh why? This means that even the Facebook campaigns in all bounties will also stop? What will happen to those newbies who are depending on Facebook campaigns, because ranking up here in the forum also became harder. ICO developers must make remedy to prevent tis. Facebook is their good way of spreading the news about their products and services.

Yea and next we'll be putted in a chair with hands baack and we'll be allowed just to shake head ...

It's terrible that they think this way (even if some are spam...this will keep happening) and who is still looking at facebook likes for campaigns..

Guys they have banned ads. Those ads you pay for when you boost your post or whatever. Those ads. They are not talking about a page you create or posts you make. It is like facebooks version of google adsense. The bounties will still be available and viable.

Facebook's ban on ICO advertising is normal.
Because Facebook is limited to national laws, and it is well known that countries are planning to regulate ICO, Facebook could face legal problems if it continues to advertise.

Bounties are preserved and this only affects paid ads. Facebook does not intend to block or create restrictions on crypto content

Getting annoyed of them already though. I would like to research on my own and not be bombarded by these ads when I'm browsing my feed.

They only banned the advertisements not the cryptocurrency pages or groups. Those who are concerned about facebook bounty campaign do not need to worry because it is still existing. We create our own content and share the post of the ICO we are promoting so they would not ban it. What they banned are those pages that are promoted because they paid facebook for it to appear in the timeline of the people who are interested in it. There are so many advertisements in facebook nowadays related to cryptocurrency and most of it are coins the same with bitconnect so the decision of facebook is just to prevent people from being scammed.

There are so many ponzi, scam project that has been used the name of crypto and they are putting scam banner to make people are unfamiliar with crypto to join on that shit scam project. I've seen it in such pages. And honestly, it's annoying for me.


They're not trying to do that. In my experience about facebook ads and I was feeling inconvenience with so many banners from shit scam ico that appears on facebook anytime.

Mark Zuckerberg might be being bullied by his government thats why he did this.Facebook is being regulated by the U.S government thats why his kneck is in their hands.If this really happens to a lot more social media sotes like twitter this might cause to crypto community's collapse.

I wouldn't worry about it! All written in General terms!And it is not yet clear how they will categorize the information and determine its belonging to the promotions!

Facebook is a dead platform, they are terrified of the blockchain social network where the PEOPLE get to control and get PAID for access to their info. FUCK Facebook.

I hope the Facebook ban on advertising ICO projects will not affect ordinary users who participate in facebook bounty programs. Otherwise, a lot of people will suffer.

I've had enough of these ICO ads on Facebook.
Facebook is doing a pretty good job, I think, and they might make it a little bit of a legal issue, because the SEC intends to restrict ICO.

There is still twitter campaign that they can join.
Past this news can really affect the crypto exist. Because indirectly this will lead newbie think twice to invest in cryptocurrency.

Its not big tragedy, twitter more popular social network for cryptocurrency, now mostly named cryptotwitter.

I guess so. We won't see soon anymore the Facebook bounty program offered on every bounty.
Facebook is becoming more strict in terms of rules. They have a lot of users but then implementing these rules will slowly make the enthusiast move to the other social medias to promote their ICO's

Facebook is just trying to protect it's reputation since crypto currency market is not stable and has lots of legality issues. Another thing is that some projects that are meant to be a scam uses facebook to advertise their product and since facebook is popular people might think any advertisement coming from this site is legit which is actually a misleading fact.

Only adds but not groups, paid ads.
Is gonna be better because a lot of scam were around.

I think its weird stance. I mean they were making tonnes of money with these advertisements. Its so weird to see complete ban wave to happen with ads. They could spend time to ban scams.

I think it is directed solely at Facebook paid advertisements not necessarily on posts made by Facebook pages or profiles. May be it will not affect ICO bounties on Facebook but rather all deceptive cryptocurrencies related advertisements.

Mark Zuckerberg isn't a stupid guy and he knows what he's doing.
I agree with his banning on Cryptocurrency Ads because he don't want people and investors fall into fraud and scams because scammers do afford making Ads on Facebook with a little money in order to get a lot of money from Facebook users.
It doesn't mean that Cryptocurrency ICOs are legitimate when they show on Facebook.

Considering the popularity and mammoth membership reach and usage of Facebook, i am sure they have very strong reasons behind this step which should change over time accordingly. This new policy prohibits ads that promote financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading promotional practices. This policy is part of an ongoing effort to improve the integrity and security of their ads, and to make it harder for scammers to profit from a presence on Facebook.

They had use the right call this time.
Facebook Ads should supposedly promote international to local businesses and not financial institution ads.
Scammers could afford to post any Cryptocurrency ads and get higher money from their victims through Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg doesn't want that to happen because the ultimate goal if Facebook is to make people and communities closer and not the tool of ruining people's lives especially in their financial aspects.

Maybe they're trying to prevent people from investing in scams and highly speculative investments. However, to be fair, they should only ban ads related to ICOs and ponzi schemes, and keep ads related to good cryptos and services related to it, like the ones that seek to provide educational content about cryptocurrencies and trading.

Finally !! Thanks to facebook!! ;D ;D


Finally! It's a great move from facebook that they kick junk ico and most are scam. This should be done before but anyway there are negative side for this especially facebook campaign. I feel sorry for the newbies but don't worry we can  make our post great for merit.

This banning is good thing. Sometimes those ads are annoying. For me most ads are annoying actually not only crypto  :) But there are also a lot of scams and people who know nothing about it might get scammed.

This is really bad news for bounty hunters like me. No more Facebook campaigns. If it's the case I'm good with signature, Twitter and reddit. But the newbies will the much affected.

I also think so. Verified cryptocurrencies don't require advertising or they can post it in specialist forums.

In my opinion, We are not promoting our own crypto currency ads and just doing like and share of ICO companies posts. When facebook is not blocking them how any share of a running page can be banned.

I think this is also the reason why we have "Merit" in forum rules the moderator are already know that facebook will ban the digital currency ads,so many scam ICO are spreading the entire social media with non sense issue.

although it maybe disappointing for projects that will be promoting in social media especially facebook but if Facebook has set the rules it may have to obey and switch in other social media for promotion, because the internet has the widest range and can be for promotions anywhere.

maybe they are creating a currency of their own that is why they are doing this so only their currency is used on fb

This is quite unfortunate, cause there is a lot of posts in regards to cryptocurrency since Facebook is now acting as some field of marketing/advertising etcetera.
That's not right to just shut down the posts about the coins and left others, for instance, I can't get what is better in advertising the cars comparing to the sharing info about ICO?

Don't get me wrong, that's just my point.

Seems like Facebook wanted to buy some cheap bitcoins. :D Twitter is also blocking ads which advertise cryptos with "gambling" reasons.

i think they are building a currency of their own so you can use or post about it on fb

Facebook are also looking for  a blockchain that they can team up with, i hope Facebook will not promote it as well in case they come up with a blockchain technology partners. Anyway it is their revenue lost not ours.

That's weird, Facebook keeps prompting me to promote my project page.  But I guess YouStock by itself is not a cryptocurrency.

They focused on ICO ads.
This is really interesting ban from facebook. Now if ICO owners cannot insert ads to facebook than they will start to increase bounty rewards for facebook.
lets see.

http://prntscr.com/i81p76

As far as I know, The facebook plan of doing is to remove the facebook adds of ICOs. So, facebook bounties are not affected here because adds will only be removed and not facebook pages. So we have nothing to worry about ..

You maybe understood the article wrong bro,still ICOs can be promoted on facebook through facebook campaigns because facebook not banned the ICO ads.The just banned the paid promotion of facebook for ICO ads.So it is actually great news for the social media campaign participants because now they can earn more money because ICOs are only promoted through campaigns anymore.

Now it will be more difficult for some companies to promote their ICO's, as the social outreach would be thwarted. Nevertheless, we saw this one coming - it was a matter of time, therefore, I cannot say that I'm surprised. This is why threads like this exist. However, may I ask for a slight favor:
I'm currently considering investing in one of these two:
AgroTechFarm (ATF)
MedicalChain
May you provide me with more information?

Well this is fine for me. most advertisements of ICOs in facebook are just scams anyway but it will not hit cryptocurrency price to fall down because it is just advertisements that are being banned on their platform. people can still advertise or promote ICOs by posting it on their status or groups. so dont worry about social media bounty campaigns to end.

This news does not yet apply to bounty hunters. It's about paid advertising, targeting and so on.  Roughly speaking, now the FB will filter this topic. On the one hand, a bold step, on the other hand can not be so bad. I hope they do not start blocking bounty campaign participants, you can not keep track of everyone, but ICO traffic will lose a lot.

This is why bitcoin price are starting to go down because of the banning of ads in facebook. Facebook was a big help on advertising so many ICO's on cryptocurrencies because of that many people is aware of the project that is advertise on the fb most of the people are staying in the social media in many hours this is a big loss for ICO's

Not really a good thing for crypto, we've been tested to much how long we support for these. Many argument may happens that falls into like this. So sad for Facebook users promoting crypto which no longer be used, but it won't be our last chance. Still other social medias that still not banning in promoting crypto, maybe we should take advantage on this first before it goes like these.

Yes, I agree. it's possible that developers should change the way their campaigns, which involve social media. because after all, some developers are scam, damaging the reputation of crypto itself.

Yes, but advertising might be limited to specific country, so they do not need totally ban it.

man oh man, this is such a bad news for us crypto people. not because most of us do facebook campaigns, but because a lot of crypto currencies out there rely on social media sites like facebook to advertise their coins and and spread awareness about it and the crypto world as a whole. not to mention those icos that creates those facebook campaigns to bring in greater traffic or supporters and investors to their projects. i just hope that other social media platforms would not be doing things like this. because clearly, this alone will have a huge impact on the crypto world. i cannot imagine how much damage it will cause if ever other social media platforms go on and do the same as facebook.

As far to what i have read according to them they wont allow any paid advertisements related to cryprocurrencies but you can still promote usinf your own profiles,you can still post,share links of cryptocurrencies in the facebook.This will only affect the paid adcertisers nur if youbare only a bounty hunter there will no negative effect to you.

I think Facebook is doing their job.
Facebook is bringing people closer to the communities so they don't want people get scammed and ruin their financial status.
I know scammers can afford on advertising their bogus ICOs through Facebook because they could get a lot of money as investments.

Honestly, who cares. Facebook is a centralised machine, as you can see. They are planning to most likely launch their own ICO, thats what im guessing is happening here.

From what i have read,facebook will only BAN those paid advertisement but not totally ban all crypto related posts,pages,and groups this wont affect us if we are only bounty hunters becausw we can still promote these ICOs using our profiles facebook says they wont paid advertisementa from these ICOS.This means you can still use your own profiles,pages, and facebook groups and you wont get banned if you do this in your own will.

I am just checking and find that some posts are blocked by Facebook but not every post is deleted or removed, may be face book finding some spamming in some posts and those posts are deleted.

Seems to many scam in ico advertised in Facebook and they want to get rid of it, plus Facebook looking to create their own crypto coin so its common to ban all  others.

To me understanding there will be still facebook campaign, only facebook paid ads advertisement is blocked. The dev team will no longer be able to promote their ICO in facebook.

I heard facebook will issue their own crytocurrency, is this move part of that plan of them? Perhaps they want to promote their own coin later LOL

New information about the new Facebook policy, they completely blocked the crypto on their social networks. Because there are so many people trying to create projects to scam investors.

I am not very surprised. Mark Zuckerberg has proven himself to be a very anti-Bitcoin individual. Perhaps his hostility to Bitcoin results from the fact that his rivals (Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss) have benefited enormously from the recent price rise of BTC.

Really that facebook ban cryptocurrency? I am so sad with this news because I like joining social media campaign and I get many more profits from them  ::)

It's about paid advertising and it will not affect those bounty hunters who place posts about the ICO on the wall of their account.

this is news that is not very fun,just waiting for time,the may campaign facebook will be wiped out in the ico.

May be you are right, but this put your account at risk! (you never know what facebook policemen can think).
More over, if something is not acceptable for paid ads, probably it's not acceptable for usual posts.
Take care.

Bounty hunters has to pay little more attention on post they're doing. As I know FB not gonna kill the hunters if they don't use hashtags (#ICO #pre-ICO etc) and open advertisement of the projects. So from today you have to forget about word "ICO" to change for "project" or "company". "Coin" would be ok to change on "token" or "currency" and check what you typing on ur reposts. If you're smart and doing not blind reposting you even not will feel the changes.

It shows that the more days that crypto currency ads are already looks like a spam in social media.. which's not necessarily the truth, and could be due the facebook is not so interested in crypto currency which's already a lot of scam and it would be more harmful to the more people again if still allowed.
However I've an thought.. it could have been a temporary I guess.

I am not sure about that news that Facebook ban crypto currency ads because i am still seeing ads on my Facebook of various ICO'S. But if you really happen then this will be very negative step for bitcoin because Facebook is the major source of social media and all over the world people are using Facebook and if such thing was happen then i am sure it will be only because of Some scam ICO's.  There should be some rules for launching ICO's so that scam ICO's problem was go to end.

Yes it's pretty bad news, because facebook like many other social networks are more exposed to politics, so I think that it's worth using decentralized social networks, in order to exclude such an opportunity in the future.

This shows how Zuckerberg is really "admire" crypto! Is it only ads or they ban sharing posts from Crypto groups? Latter will hurt bounty hunters very much. Especially now, when getting new rank here is extremely difficult. Imagine you spend hours pumping your FB or Twitter account and they coming with crap like this. Or bitcointalk account as matter of fact.

I think it is okay because most of the scammers were using fb ads to reach people who does not have enough knowledge about ICOs.

Is it good though? If people fall for stupid advertising, that's because they're stupid. Why does facebook feel a need to hold everybody's hand? It's their company, they can do what they like… I just think it's lame and condescending to their user base.

That's nice that Facebook care about us not being misleaded and ban ads of frauds that is absolutely normal according to some states' laws. But that's unfair in relation to the good and ICOs. Of course it's easier to ban all the ads than to hire a team of experts that will check all those ads for relevance

Well I do not think Facebook has taken the good decision. Many uses of this site are traders, investors and simply those who are interested in the world of crypto. FB can lose some of its subscribers.

Oh sure it means less exposure, but it's facebook. Who in crypto cares about facebook?  ;D
Thank the ico scammers for ruining it though.

I didn't see this coming because Facebook never usually turns down a quick bit of money on a craze. Honestly it won't impact too much because you can just create good content to be shared by bounty campaigns or shared in groups, I am a social media manager and I hate using Facebook ads.

Just really shooting themselves in the foot and losing some revenue. Personally I just think it is a marketing campaign to seem more moral after the whole Russia election scandal.

Well, USA government banned the ICOs, so it's not a surprise that Facebook - that is USA based, has banned the ICOs promotion.
This is the official reason.
But I suspect that Zuckemberg is studying the launch of a kind of "Facebookcoin", and with his immense power probably will kill any other coin.
We'll see.

Facebook will just stop accepting ICO advertisement of any crypto-related advertisement in their paid advertistement,they didnt tell you to stop posting links using your profiles,facebook pages and group can still be used to promote ICOs,you will not get banned if you post ICO or cryptocurrency related topics in facebook.In my own opinion they are just being protective to most of the U.S citizens because the SEC prohibits any citizens in joing ICOs because most of the ICOs today are just raising funds and then will fail at the end or might ran away like what scammers do.

Actually, there's a good side and a bad side. This is because of Facebook's new better Cryptocurrency. Facebook is a Social Media network that's used by many people in the world today. So this Facebook is also used to view Good News and Bad News. ICO now everywhere. Most of the racketeers are home to this Facebook. So it's true that Facebook is the one to bring this ban. It's good for companies that bring good ICO is not a good news.

The thing is, every article about the so-called "ban" on crypto ads doesn't have any direct statement from Facebook. They aren't going anywhere, they'll just shrink down some. The blatantly spammy ads will get censored just like any other spammy ad, nothing new here.

I guess Facebook starts act this way because there are too many scam ICOs. But I think it's a little bit strange just because such kind of things as Facebook should be unbiased... Just like a language that can be used for both evil and kind purposes as well.

Well, so the ban deals with targeting Facebook advertising. In your own tape, no one forbids you to write advertising posts. Although over time it's possible to take over and personal tapes.

On facebook even subscribers harder to add, because they block accounts, if you exceed the limitI I think that now the whole mass will switch to twitter

No, they can't act biased because Facebook must obey USA laws and regulations. Actually banning the cryptocurrencies ads is a good idea because people won't get tempted to invest in bullshit ICOs (Though there are genuine ICOs also which will get affected). Most of the ads on my Facebook timeline are filled with lending ICOs like BitConnect which is actually a ponzi system using ICO as a name sake.

this is really bad news for everybody. Bad news for ICO scammers but this can affect  for bad newbies who only has the opportunity to join a campaign thru Facebook campaign. We all know that facebook is popular to a lot of people that's why many people advertise their business on Facebook. Now that they ban cryptocurrency advertising on facebook I think this will also affect ICOs in terms of promotional issues.

This prohibition applies not to private accounts, but to direct advertisers who give paid advertising on Facebook. Therefore, it will not affect the bounty of hunters. So you can not worry.

Can't believe they did this as they are losing easy money on this especially with the amount of cash that ICO's are throwing in marketing.

I think that it is their loss and they are only doing this for PR, especially after the Russia thing and also the damage social media does.

I'm afraid that Twitter will be the next social network that will put an end to this. It is very interesting, what way out of the situation will the bounty managers look for. I think that the bounties will become more complicated and interesting. Times of easy money pass. Now it will be necessary to work hard.

If that's so, well, I think Facebook Campaigns wouldn't be effective then. I can imagine that one of our sources we're vanishing and it's not appropriate that they are all fading. These are our ways to earn and save, and yt they'd stopped it.  But I think it will still continue. Maybe, Facebook is just looking into Facebook users who they think are spamming. I already experience once then, I'm sharing Posts and posting my status about a certain ICO and then there's a notification that says they deleted those posts for they think that it's a way of spamming. So, right away, I quit doing Facebook Campaigns and I just concentrated with signature campaigns.

Yes it is sad that Facebook campaign is also affected. To be honest, with facebook campaigns I have found a way to use my account for important things rather than just posting and sharing tantrums, qoutes and etc. Now that it is also banned what left for me is to trade and do signatur campaigns. I just hope that it will come back, using facebook is a great way to share informatuond and knowledge about cryptos.

There is too many ads in Facebook about cryptocurrency until today if facebook bans crypto ads why is that I've seen many until today maybe they are not that eager to implement it. Also i joined to Facebook campaign so what will happen to us if we post about crypto? Is there a possibility that our Facebook account will be ban also?

This new rule from facebook is very unfortunate,
i hope they will lift the ban soon, because it's very a big loss for everyone,
cryptocurrency ads even help people not only for bounty hunter, but also for investor,
this is not a very good move from facebook, let's wait and see till the next update from facebook.

Well, I take this as a good sign. My whole feed was filled with ICO shit.

And we all know 99% of the ICOs are shit...they mis-lead

This will make it more difficult to generate organic marketing leads but will force crypto's to seek alternate channels to reach consumers. This opens a lot of opportunities for alternative marketing platforms and strengthens the credibility of reputable sources. 

It will be interesting to see which platform emerges as the main ad source for crypto's now that Facebook is out....

Are you not facebook bounty hunter? If not maybe you can be happy right now in top of bounty hunter sad.
However i want to start facebook bounty this week but i cancel it because of the bad news.

I was thinking that facebook bounty will be declined by bounty manager or facebook developer
I think your answer will make bounty hunter can breath again. Your answer is make sense and i hope it can be like your answer.
Because if facebook bounty close, it can make me or others in trouble.

Bit weird, since mark zuckerburg wants to create his own coin too

Facebook is the one who helps promoting coins, through facebook, also helps icos helps to be successful because many people encourage to it. Also facebook campaign also be affected to it because of banning some ads

I don't think facebook will ban cryptocurrency ads because they are receiving a big money on that. I think this one is just only a FUD.

This is good news for the community. many spam ico on facebook ads

this is gonna be big lost for all bounty hunter and bitcoin to, in fact facebook getting lost to. many people will leave they facebook because this bans, and for bitcoin maybe the new user will not getting anything from social media campaign.

Facebook ADs have done nothing to digital currency other than a promote a volatile nature of digital currencies as a whole. It's been a highly-negative impact on all coins. I look at these post and actually am really glad that they have banned them, because these money hungry ICO's don't need to be promoting their shitcoins/scamcoins to the masses.

Digital currencies and social media don't mix, this is all about profits and incorporating that into the masses spaces is not a good idea at all, it attracts a lot of attention, good and bad. I wish i could go more into depth why, but i'm sure it's probably covered somewhere here in the posts.

Mark Zuckerburg just decided recently that he is going to study cryptography and now doing this. He should have just implemented regulations or strict measures.

It's not a good thing about the facebook banning the cryptos ads,because it may affect the investor and the user.advertising was a big part to become known the one things by many people.the facebook campaign will gone,Many projects will gone too. But let's see the fesult if it a trully a big loss to the coins that the facebook banning it.

I'm unsure if this actually happened, I saw today lots of AD's which are related to cryptocurrencies. Either way this is not good.

It's already time for the ascension of a new Social Media more decentralized. particularly, I was using that Social Media only because Crypto-Currency. That is a good place where you can find many content and enthusiasts. Without this, that site becomes worthless for me, I don't know about others... Censorship has started since a long time ago there... And not over Crypto-Currencies, but over some political groups that Facebook's agenda is fully against. Now seems Facebook has added another enemy on their list: Crypto-Currencies...

Facebook is one of the largest social media that exist today, with the decision then the spread of campaigns around the digital currency will be a little hampered. But we all have to think of other ways, do not get it because one of the sectors is banned then the spread of digital currency stops. Honestly, I prefer to share Bitcoin information with private conversations, it takes a long time, but personal conversation in my opinion will be much more effective because we can directly deal with and also attract new users by showing what which we have gained. Investing in ICO is an option and it is a profitable option.

I don;t think it going to affect much, first of all most of the facebook users are teenager, and i never seen any crypto related ads on fb. So it wasn't used that much i guess, however ICO's main fund come from bitcoin talk forum and Telegram and Twitter.

Mark Zuckerberg has the authority over facebook.
He is a business man so to protect other business man from SCAM promoting through Facebook he needs to do that.
He cares for Facebook dignity as the founder of fb.

This is very good. People cannot just use a whitepage to collect money. A good project at least should have their products (alpha product) to do their advertisement. Facebook is helping this new market to grow health and live longer. Be cool! guys.

Yes, I saw this news yesterday, and I saw that all cryptocurrencies have dropped.
I think this should be a big hit for bitcoin and alt.
After all, people who know crypto now are relatively few and facebook is an important channel that can promote crypto.

Maybe this one referring to paid ads? I don't mind promoting under my own account , they can unfriend me anyway. I guess it's fine to post something in your wall with selected friends, paid ad will be problem though.

I saw this news today also. The ban may not last forever though, those advertisements make FB money and thats the name of the game. They will probably have a more stricter guideline as to who can advertise.

Wow i think you guys has a point. At first I thought what facebook did was a negative thing to the crypto community but maybe this is for the best. Lot of scams here and there.

Yesterday posted news about Facebook, but today there is still advertising crypto projects in Facebook. I think now the bounty hunters should ask for an increase in payment for posts on Facebook, since there is a high probability of getting a ban.

Well I hope it's not a bad news because why facebook ban cryptocurrency ads? If they have a big income there right? What you think guys?

wel this should be done by facebook long time ago,so the numbers of victims by scammers and hackers maybe smaller than today,but some part are sadness for more users as they are being paid from joining facebook campaigns.though i think there will be an alternative for for this one..hope this will lessen the misleading thats happening over th community that causes to the losses of some funds

This will be bad news once implemented. We learn ICOs primarily from Facebook. There's so much crypto related pages and Facebook messenger groups with trading and ICO discussions which are really informative. Its also the source of earning for most crypto holders to post ads about their cryptocurrency investments.

This is good news for Bounty hunters and Airdrop people

This is a bad news for bounty hunters who join fb campaign and also to the entire ICO's, Promoting on fb is very a big help when you start your company, i hope twitter will not do the same thing.

This is bad news, and I do not understand why facebook is forbidden，Fb is one of the key channels driving crypto-currency. It has so many users, but I do not think this ban lasts too long because cryptocurrency is good for fb Possibly.

Facebook ads mean paid ads, i think facebook campaign will have no problem.
don't worry bounty hunter

Facebook ban those crytocurrency ads because it somehow violate cyber law or was considered as scam or untrusted ads.

I would like to know how effective the FB crypto ads were to begin with? I definitely didn't get into crypt because of them. haha it wasn't until a good friend that I trusted told me about investing in crypto that I decided to do it.

IMO, it will not impact much in crypto space. crypto enthusiasts usually use Bitcoin talk or other forums to get more understanding for crypto.

i think this is a marketing move they are making a currency of their own to be used that is why they are banning other currencies

i think this is a marketing move they are making a currency of their own to be used that is why they are banning other currencies

I think to prevent unwanted things like banned accounts. I recommend to share 3 post only per campaign in a week or you can join bounty campaign in bountyhive.io, at this site, you need 2 times post only in a week.

I'm seeing one Facebook ADS campaign on Facebook Message app !
I think they are only ban bads ads !

i think this is for advertisement they are creating a currency of their own maybe that is why they are doing it

yes, advertising does not help much on the benefits of crypto. only on promotions for sales only. I do not feel too worried, because social media is not very important role in ico sales level. some ico scam projects damage the reputation of ico and crypto, this is the cause of the ban

i think this is for advertisement they are creating a currency of their own maybe that is why they are doing it

i think this is for advertisement they are creating a currency of their own maybe that is why they are doing it

i think this is for advertisement they are creating a currency of their own maybe that is why they are doing it

Am i the only one who thinks that are bad news for the cryptoworld? Because these ads are importing to get some new investors. We need new investors to get some gain on the market cap. So if any other social media plattforms starts to ban crypto ads were in big trouble. I start with cryptos because of the ads in telegram. Thats the first contact i have was the electroneum ico. They did a lot of marketing and thats one reason why they are so successfull right now.

Yeah I think its good news given the amount of scam ICOs that were going around over the past year or so.

I think Facebook is taking such a measure because the number of victims has increased because of fraud. I also didn't understand what does this have to do with facebook bounty campaigns? The bad content promoting ads on Facebook were forbidden. Or else ads will been publish on FB. There is no such thing as cryptocurrency groups will be closed or messages will be forbidden.

Facebook has taken the decision on January 30. It is very important because Facebook has advertised to sell different types of merchandise. These must have adverse effects on many people. So, if this advertisement is posted in Facebook, then everyone will be released from excuses.I think it is a good news.

Facebook prohibit ad crypto? maybe that's because interfere in home Facebook status because every day people make post about crypto and ICO and Facebook don't get a good thing the slightest, it could be they jealous social.

So you think its normal? So how about facebook bounty campaign?
Will it be affected?
I hope not. I hope there is other way to solve this problem so i am bounty hunter not stop my job in facebook bounty.

Yes it's not strange for me to hear this issue of Facebook because in recent times now most of the post I shared from ICO official pages are been deleted as spams and the site now select so links it accept I suggest we avoid putting links on post and do with # tags only because banning Cryptocurrency campaigns on facebook may affect both the Cryptocurrency, Bounty hunters and investors at large.

Facebook bans cryptocurrency ads it is the hot issues right now because some forms in the airdrop requires to share in social medias like facebook and twitter but some issues that sharing on facebook and twitter is scam some are not scam but be careful when you post it on facebook to secure your account and not be ban in facebook

They ban crypto ads = they lost good income and maybe it is good news for other social medias. Basically the reason of the ban is acceptable, because they do not want to advertise something that may make users lose money. Maybe facebook teams need to hire experienced people about crypto to manage crypto adds to filter which ads is not good to be on facebook. Obviously it is not a guarantee that the ads will not be a scam, but at least they can minimize it and still earning from crypto.

To this all went. Recently Facebook began to block messages on the crypto-currency topic more and more often. And now I completely blocked it. Well, what can we do? How then we will look for exits! can all traffic move to a new network? In the end we have a twitter. which by the way I like much more!

This is really bad news. I mean, Bounty Hunters these days use Facebook as their Campaign and for weekly usage for posting about Cryptocurrencies and of course promoting the ICO. But on the other hand it will be really helpful since ads are really annoying.

This is quite a bad news and it will influence our resources of the news and we may get less news but later the situation will change.

Well, Facebook is only trying to protect its image and reputation. This move will definitely cut down on scam ICO's however at the expense of  genuine ones. There must be an alternative in situations of this kind.

What will happen to facebook bounty's on ICO's ? Will Icos shutdown the facebook campaign ? There is a troubled situation on facebook bountys.

facebook and ads bans ad it is very disappointing, because we know if the current largest social media held by facebook, and there prospective investors can be easy to meet and see the ad. but now we have to accept the reality if facebook acts so we can only see ads elsewhere not in facebook and ads.

Facebook's ban on crypto ads is not so surprising at all. We should take into account that Facebook is an American company, therefore following its home country's laws and regulations, and as of right now, USA has not been very cooperative to crypto. It is being prudent until regulations are set or the market is already stable.

All the fud OMG.. Its like crypto is a demon that needs a shutdown! Whats wrong with governments around the world! Crypto is big news everywhere and it seems they (governments) are spreading FUD and facebook is helping them!

Bad news. I think all social networks will soon follow the example of Facebook and ban advertising of
crypto-currencies and ICO projects. Then they start looking for bounty hunters and blocking their accounts.
On the other hand, there are so many scammers on the Internet who, in the guise of ICO, steal money from users.

I'm a member of over a hundred cryptocurrency group pages. I see ads everyday all over my timeline. New ICOs everyday, cryptocurrency is all over my FB account. I got into cryptocurrency through FB and been an FB support for a few coins. So for me an ICO's success also depends on its power through social media.

this is such a bad news for the whole community,as crypto was introduced well via facebook in past,i wonder what will the effect of this action to us and how will the users react on this..facebook is the most used social media advertiser for this forum and without this means 1/4 of popularity in future has gone.i wish that facebook will reconsider this action as we are both need each others

However it is so sad for bounty hunters. Facebook is trying to control information all over the world.
And may be they develop new project and want to get rid of competition.
But at the same time it is worth considering that Facebook is limited to national laws of different countries.

I feel this seems to be true because I myself experience things like that but I'm still not sure because I do not see for sure what is the right cause.

No it's not facebook only bans the paid crypto ads they will not publish it anymore for bounty huntey can share or post about crypto

I think it will have a negative effect for a little while but I'm sure people who used Facebook a lot for crypto will adapt and turn to other means of communication such as Telegram that is really good imo.

We also will not be able to participate in Facebook's bounty activity if the FB forbids the encryption of money ads. ICO also reduces the platform for promotion programs, which is unfair to those who make money in the bounty and is not conducive to the development of the project team.

Yes, this event is really very, very sad, because after all many projects allocate special money for participation in the programs of support of projects. But now let's hope that the budget does not decrease from this

Has Facebook banned ICO advertising?
I can still see some ads about ICO on Facebook.
But Facebook prohibits the ICO advertising for the encryption of cryptocurrency markets. is huge, investors have lost confidence, so there is no new investors, perhaps ICO bubble will rupture.

To be sincereI was becoming concerned with the high level of scam ads flowing around on the platform, even on my phone the number of ICO ads I received is disturbing, the issue now is people need to focus more on the substance the project is offering, if the product is sound the reward will follow, but now what most of them do is Ponzi IMO

It's bad, i think all we know social media is the good way to promote any products. Moreover, social media like facebook is a lot of people who use it and can spread quickly. But when I open facebook there are still ads related to ICO and such. Perhaps this has not been fully enforced.

its a hot news, because it came on off a suddenly. but the rate in which ads is pumping in facebook it now causing spam and scammers are using the opportunity to scam investor, which is not a good reputation for facebook so i dont think is a bad ideal.

It's hard to believe because this is really a bad news. What's worse, it may influence the price of the coins.I think it will be hars for me to get enough information without facebook.

facebook banning icos is good move now fake icos wont come in market and so newbies wont get afforded last year 2017 many fake icos came into market which lead to scams and newbies are burnt heavily

I think they will ban only those spam referral links on facebook that is connected on initial coin offerings, coin promoting, company investment. Also I'm worrying about facebook campaign on some projects. But we'll see if my opinion is correct regarding this issue.

You have to believe because it was for real. We don't know what's facebook is gonna do in the near future by declaring that all crypto sponsored ads will be banned in their network.
The price has been influenced by too many factors and news is one of it and we already seeing that the price starts to move negatively again and this reddy days will remain and unpredicted on how long will be done.
Every related crypto paid ads will be disabled.
Are you joining those facebook campaigns? You don't have to worry about it, there's no affection with it.

This ban is not a permanent one I think and in future Facebook may release this ban. There are good and bad things in this ban, as few members said it will reduce the scam ICO's and scam links promoted in Facebook and the good thing is Twitter and other social network will be engaged more on this activity and their traffic may look high from now. I think there's nohing to do with crypto coins price due to this ban.

Mark wants to protect his users. And I think we need more regulations for ICOs, it's not bad like we thing. Mark is smart man, he will not do anything against the flow. :D

If i understand their updated policy,they will only prohibit the paid advertisement but they will not restrict users from promoting ICOs and cryptocurency related topics in user's personal profiles it means the only people will be affected by this are the advertisers who are promoting in facebook using the paid advertisement of facebook.But if you are a bounty hunter in facebook this policy wont affect you at all you can still share,link any cryptocurrency related posts in facebook.

This is not Facebook, per se.
This is the handwork of Governments and Financial Institutions that would want to retain wealth and power for themselves.

Cryptocurrencies are currently redistributing wealth to everyone - globally.
Governments and Financial Institutions will do whatever they can to retain wealth and power so that it will not be redistributed to the common man.

 

In early January Zuckerberg was interested in studying cryptocurrency and encryption technologies with the aim of their possible integration into the world's largest social network and now they are banned, protecting us from scammers. What's next ?

is it for real? i can still post and share post about the upcoming and ongoing ICO today.
Maybe some kind of business advertisement is ban on facebook.

I see decentralized social media  coming.  Many changes that are coming in the future will make you wonder if we ever lived and accept the centralized control of some of the tech we enjoy today.  People all over the world will be so decentralized in the services been provided to them and they will not even be aware of it.

I have seen this write up; however, I have also seen other ones that are clarifying Facebook's stand with regards to posting ads in their platform. First off, I think that Facebook won't totally restrict or ban ads about cryptocurrencies because one of Facebook's main alleys to gain profit is through advertisement and marketing. Since many people are using their platform day in and day out. It would be easy to promote anything through it. I think what Facebook is trying to control is the useful traffic that doesn't amount to any advertisement. Unfortunately, there are so many users who just wants to meet their quotas and don't actually think of what they are posting. Due to that, there are so many ads that are not effective and only makes the system heavier affecting other ads that should be in the forefront and should be seen by people.

I think this is the worst news for this week. facebook has banned, now followed by instagram. I hope it will not have a big impact on the crypto price insertion value. although like this, there is a positive effect that we get. many of dev will evaluate ways that are more rational and educational.

This decision in the broadest sense may have a special mechanism for this problem.
Facebook says it will review its enforcement policies and mechanisms as the signal improves. Meanwhile, Facebook encourages people to report content that violates this policy.
"This policy is part of an ongoing effort to improve the integrity and security of our ads, and to make it more difficult for scammers to benefit from presence on Facebook

Great! I guess Facebook wont have any commercials to show me, since I only saw crypto related ads for a few months nowXD

It’s sad & bad news for bounty hunters….
But as they said only Ad on Facebook about ICO’S and crypto currencies are banned, so hopes that bounty campaign will runs as usual.
Good day

Facebook has the right to ban any advertisement when deemed necessary, most of the coins advertised in Facebook are bogus and all towards to personal gain of the developers and management. They are using cryptocurrency to steal money from people. If i am an investor I will still go with a coin that does not need any advertisement as the coin should be successful no matter what. We can't do anything with that we are just users of Facebook, we will just follow their guidelines as well. I am seeing a lot of people ranting in facebook because of the ban, but they are not considering facebook's part when a product advertised in one platform brings the name of the platform, facebook is just protecting it's name and we should respect it.

It bans certain terms. There are still ways around it. It makes sense given the scams going around, I just wish that FB would do more to monitor fake news and hate speech.

One of the biggest companies in the world and one of the most used sites making such a decision is very sad for bitcoin investors.
They have made such a decision to protect people who are probably ignorant from danger :)

I understand that this news is just paid advertising, which is displayed to the user.
This news does not apply to the participants of the bounty campaigns on Facebook. They can continue to write posts and reposts on cryptocurrency projects.

A lot of people here say that the ban is only for paid ads and not for usual post, but there is the risk that facebook will ban your account!
The decision was taken to protect stupid people from scam, so if you promote a ICO you are - in facebook vision - a scammer.
Take care.

I've officially seen that on this passed days when I shared a post from a Facebook page of an ICO and Im advised that my common posts is erased by facebook. It was expressed there that its a spam on facebook that contain joins from a site. Perhaps we should simply abstain from puting a few connections on our common posts

Yes this is not good news. I hope that this applies only to official advertising and not to posts and reposts. It will be very bad for bounty campaigns.

Facebook bans about crypto currency ads that's why all crypto values are falling down I think as price but it's not impose on bounty hunter in Bitcoin forum. So it's not matter for forum user.

currently posting is busy talking about the prohibition of facebook for ico ads. I wonder, do you guys become worried and panicked? I'm not surprised because I'm sure crypto will still run even though social media forbids it.

I do not agree with that we work well and do not violate the law why it can be so and I hope it is just an issue is not a reality and if it is true maybe we should seek a work agreement

I think facebook is just jealous on ICOs and cryptocurrencies, because bounty participant are flooding ICO ads on their website and facebook can't control it, so they ban it in order to minimize it.

This might be bad for some business persons because they will surely lose some income from the banning of advertisements. However, this does not mean that there will be no more Facebook related campaigns. Members do not contribute to growth by promoting advertisements, but they make and write contents to provide information through the social media.

Just a PR marketing ploy after a lot of stuff has come out about Facebook being bad for our children and society and the whole Russian / Trump thing. Whether you believe the stories or not, it looks bad for Facebook.

I think it's wrong to start censoring certain things like ICOs.

There are even some links of ICO website that are not allowed by facebook to be posted. I encounter it when posting for task of one facebook bounty campaign I participated. I think this would affect future campaigns. But there are still some ICO ads I see in fb today like gbx and debitum.

I dislike facebook, but facebook laughs at some of these numbers. They aren't jealous in the slightest.

Every time this "pro status quo entities" make this kind of moves makes me wonder. However, They might have a point this time. They are probably scrambling trying to find ways to make money out of this without pissing off their masters.

I believe that we do not need to worry yet. Facebook has not yet banned the promotion of ICO on personal pages. While the ban was introduced on paid advertising. And what happens next.

Can anybody explain me,  if I can post and repost? I didn't understand it properly,  if this rule concerns only advertisement or simply posting and reposting?

I think that market zuckerberg wants facebook only for people to be connected and not to include advertisement such as cryptocurrency because they will not get benefit from it as well, if they will only remove specific ads then still it was a good thing since campaigns can still advertise on groups.

On the one hand, they are trying to protect ourselves against a new phishing scheme through which scammers try to steal Fasebook's cryptocurrency funds.
But on the other hand, Zuckerberg is an ordinary billionaire who is trying to protect his fiat.  ;) :D

How I understood this rule concerns only advertisement and now in my own post I can't insert link on ICO websites.

I think this is good news since most of the ICOs that use Facebook are a scam anyway since legit ICO will never target ads to their investors like that. I think the ban on Facebook will not affect ICO because I've seen a lot of success ICO that has not used Facebook ads before. Also, I saw a lot of ICO Facebook ads trying to deceive people by promising them x10 profits in a short time.

I have been running this ad for a few weeks, when facebook decided to ban cryptocurrency ads, I changed it a little bit...

Yes, of course, such news is cause for concern. It is likely that Facebook will introduce restrictions on the posts and reposts about ICO. Not a very happy prospect.

this news was bad. why would they make such a decision? FaceBook increased its profit by 25 percent this year. If this situation continues, the amount of profit will decrease

Alas, facebook's ban on ICO advertising has a huge impact on cryptocurrency markets.
I began to lose confidence, and I didn't know if I should continue to hold bitcoin.

i remember back then when facebook was part of the government. and now we have this ban of crypto ads. seems like the government dont like crypto as much. but its suppose to be a hidden agenda

This doesnt mean that you cannot share or posts anything thing about ICOs in facebook,the ban will only covers the paid advertisement of facebook they will not accept any ICO related campaign advertisements,so nothing to worry about.

I think it's not a new, because last month i can't post .io link to my face.  >:(

It is one of the drawbacks to facebook but the thing here is there are many fakes ICO launching and advertising on Facebook. In order to control these may they are taking this decision and in terms revenue this year they will get very less amount for sure.

good for bounty hunters ..because of ico owners cannot advertise on fb they will increase bounty prizes for facebook bounty 

i think they are doing this because they are making a currency of their own it's like a marketing stunt by them.

i think they are doing this because they are making a currency of their own it's like a marketing stunt by them.

Yes, I heard about this ban. Of course, from our point of view, this is bad, because we simply took the opportunity to simply promote our product, and of course, of course, I think all this is connected with the warriors of banks and crypto-currencies. And what do you think about this?

Well this doesn’t come as a surprise to me. This is a war between centralized and decentralized economy. Facebook and similar companies are against idea that crypto stands for.

They will only stop accepting cryptorelated and ICO paid advertisement to their advertising program in facebook,but it doesnt mean that they will ban all the users from posting and sharing links about these ICOs,cryptocurrency promotions,relax this is not a new thing in facebook.

Facebook has a right to ban anything that may affect their site, but this is a sad news for the users who are participating in a facebook campaign. But what we can do, is just need to accept their decision and respect it. Hopefully, other social media will not be discourage in advertising the cryptocurrencies.

This info is being mixed up the ban is an ad ban and posting of ico related link a lot of bounty hunters are afraid this will affect them.
It is only ad ban, an ico page on facebook are not affected and as an hunter sharing the ico post won't be affected also.

I agree, the main reason that Facebook banned Crypto Advertisements is that there are too many Scam Altcoins that try to deceive people into investing into them, this is a big problem for the Crypto Community because it will give them a bad reputation because of Scamming other people. It is a good thing that Facebook banned this type of Advertisement and to prevent further deception from scam artists.

Actually it is less effective to promote crypto on facebook. People are not at all interested in cryptocurrency advertising, trading forex and the like related to money and trading. But very unfortunate also if in bans, because members who participate facebook bounty campaign will be difficult. The most effective in my opinion is a special seminar that discusses cryptocurrency.

Does anyone know what date they are going to shut down the ads? I'm still seeing wepower ads on my newsfeed.

this is just facebook's way to avoid scammers. Facebook said that it is the only way to prevent people from advertising what the company is calling “financial products and services frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices.”I think it's a good thing but newbies will have a hard time to rank up.

Facebook said that they took this step in order to protect their community from fraud. But it seems to me that they do not say everything. I think that they want to monetize this advertisement. Because big money passes them. This is a very large platform for advertising. And I think that now project developers will have to pay. We are waiting for a response from Twitter.

If they ban crypto currency ads in facebook. Why is it whenever i check who message me on messenger there is an ads of different ICO. In my point of view, if fb bans crypto ads and there will be no facebook campaign anymore it will surely affect low ranks here in the forum.

Honestly I think this is a good thing as most of them are just scammy anyway.

Of course, it's interesting that there are some rumors Facebook is thinking of starting their own coin.

it is the fraudsters who make the crypto currency image worse. actually facebook is doing a good move. but there are also bad effects of it all. because facebook is the most widely used social media person.

As per the post, it say that Ads are banned, any idea about people sharing post related to these subjects. Some bounty programs have taken this into unnecessary complexity level and these are the facts of this kind banning, as I think. The better side of this is, the new project team will think about this and they will make a good, quality projects so that any medium does not want to stop them.

I am shocked they did this because it is quick easy money for them. But I am happy the fact that I will see less spammy adverts from ICOs that I am not interested in.

But they are only banning paid adverts, the groups and bounties will stay there so I don't think it will have a huge impact on ICOs. I also expect twitter will follow suit.

This is most likely due to a telegram, the news went about ICO TON, and here facebook also wanted to make its own crypto currency, displacing the entire market, but it's just a catch-all, until all the official

I think once they figure out a way to separate "good" crypto ads from "scam" ads, they will bring it back. It's too much money that they will leave on the table if they don't.

But they continue to advertise scams, facebook is not a good source of news anyway and people who tends to use facebook prioritize socialization and entertainment stuffs.
I don't think bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies needs to be seen that much in facebook platform.

Forget about Facebook crypto adverts because CLOUT is out specifically for crypto currency related advertisements so there is nothing to worry about. You can get more information about CLOUT services via my current signature.

I think it's not make BTC down price.

of course they did you know why because i believe they are making a currency of their own and trying to get in the door like other multi national companies

I don't really find any bad intentions for Facebook on banning Cryptocurrencies because they just don't their common mission and vision, bringing people closer to the communities.
Let's face it! More ICOs are scams and fraud and Facebook doesn't want to help those scammers could take advantage the people's weaknesses on investing into Cryptocurrencies.
Banning these ICO ads could protect Facebook from people's reaction after they fall into scam.

I think that's a very good move by Facebook and Instagram. I saw a lot of scam ICO advertisement there, it was very annoying. I hope Google will follow same thing and we won't see any scam ICO advertisement in Google adsense/adwords spaces. They have to regulate ads to protect potential customers.

That's for sure. But, this news came just in time. Do not you think it suspicious? Simply the market is in the dump, and then slid another few points down. Very quickly go bad news and go one by one...

so they have placed their foot in the door they are making a currency of their own

so they have placed their foot in the door they are making a currency of their own

Facebook banned cryptocurrency ads because they want to distance themselves from the scam that sometimes came from it. Mark Zuckerberg now did not copy Winklevoss twins have done to Bitcoin unlike before when he copies ConnectU. First I am thinking that he will create his own ICO of Facebook but it does not happen.

I don't think that affect crypto-currency prices. Something needs to be done and they took an action, this is not an unexpected move. Price crash depend on the bubble phase, all coins were overpriced. Correction was needed.

Facebook is bound by government so I think they are just following the rules so that they won't have government issues later. I'm actually getting tired of seeing crypto ads on my newsfeed so I think I am one of those people that is happy to see my newsfeed clean from crypto ads.

I heard someone say that Facebook will have a own coin of them and maybe because of that they ban ads about other coin.

Maybe the next time ICOs will think other way to do bounties on Facebook.

Facebook will only prohibit ICO related advertisement to their paid advertising program,but it doesnt mean you cannot post or share links that has cryptocurrency related topics in your profile,you will still be able to do things as usual because advertisers that are using the facebook paid services would be affected by this restriction.

Maybe they are trying to limit themselves from fraud on the part of the same ICO, but everyone understands that the future is crypto-currency, and by limiting themselves, they remain in place.

Facebook doesnt restrict people or users to post share and link any cryptocurrency ICO related links in facebook and that means you can still post as usual the only thing they resticted or prohibited,are accepting new ICO related advertisement thru their paid advertising program,so most of the campaign managers in facebook would only be affected by this ban,but not the usual users like us.

facebook and ads ban cryptocurrency ads would be very harmful. because in social media like facebook many potential investors are ready to invest in ico. but if in fact facebook prohibit such promotion maybe team and dev from ico should be able to have a promotion place other than social media.

The media always has such a nice way to twist things around.

Too many people lose money on ICO. So I think facebook will prevent them from scam ICO

i heard that news as well, but even though Facebook banned crypto ads there will still be no effect on the altcoins or all of the tokens itself, yes it will promote ICO's projects and platforms but it is only a little part of the industry. There are still many social media sites that are widely used by people and the best example for this is Twitter, because Twitter has many active interactors that are very into reading news and when an ICO promotes their project it will be known for sure with a span of really short period of time because tweets are being delivered with less than a second. That is why i think Facebook will not affect the industry with that big, it may affect the industry but just a little, there is still many social media sites out there.

This is not a serious problem when I heard that FB ban other cryptocurrency because they will co-operate with Litecoin. So, do not too worried about some bad news. You must research carefully before making decisions

Yes that's true facebook can't ban cryptocurrency ads just like that. As of now a lot as about cryptocurrency still I saw on my facebook. Because facebook are really receiving a big money on those advertisers I think the news about to ban crypto ads on facebook is just a FUD.

This really is a bad news for bounty hunters. We must admit that facebook decision will lessen ICOs from getting more investors and a free advertisement. Lets see how bounties will manage this negative news.

From what ive heard,facebook wont banned users that will share,link,or post ICO related promotions using their profiles,thats why the only people will be affected by this restriction would be the campaign managers who are paying facebook to promote their  ICO advertisement.

I can understand it , when i see coinmarketcap promoting known scams like bitconnect . Then you know they don't care and just take the money. Facebook probably don't want to be promoting scams and they don't want to do the research to see if a project is legit. So the easy way is to ban it all , which is understandable.

That's sad news surely many people will be disappointed because a lot of us are using facebook and and many of us used it to promote our ICO to get paid. But don't lose hope there's a many ways because we can use other social media to promote and to spread to all people who using it.

So, Facebook will open a hunt for bounty hunter accounts.

This is obviously not good news, but facebook's founders are interested in encrypting money markets, they simply ban the advertising of ICO, but do not ban the encryption of cryptocurrency markets..

Yes in a way but what I have witnessed on my page is that most tweets from my twitter account post directly also to facebook, because I connect both facebook and twitter, so facebook blocked all the tweets posted on facebook but with an option to indicate if such post is spam or not. All the ones I told them is not spam, accessed is granted for all post. and since then I have been posting about crypto without any blockages. I see it as an an easy thing,  you let them know its not spamming and you will be allowed.

I am pretty shocked that Facebook did this, but I am happy. No longer will I see poor ICO adverts promising the world if I invest.

This will only empower bounty campaigns though as they will be more important to ICOs.

Before there is a news that facebook will apply crpto on their program but i dunno why now they ban it. Maybe they couldn't find a way to apply crypto on their fitur so they give up and dont wanna using it. But the next possibilty why they ban crypto was because to much advertising about crypto that distrub other user, since the vision of facebook are for good information and build relationship to every part of world.

Well social media are the very big part of promotion. But facebook did not totally ban cryptocurrency ads they only ban which look scam ICOs for them to prevent getting money on people. They are getting big money from those ICOs which has a ads on facebook so why would they ban it? It just a FUD so don't worry.

Now Facebook will somehow make a conclusion about trustworthiness? Don't think so. Has anobody seen ICO ads in Instagram lately?

I think facebook advertisement differs from what you do in facebook campaign. I have my friends who still post on their facebook about their campaigns. Maybe they banned the advertisement (which is payable) but those posts that have a content of their facebook campaign  is still legal.

Those paid advertisement only, same in instagram there are none advertisement now, but posting is dtill allowed, groups and discusion regarding cryptos were still necessary, promotions thru campaigns were still applicable since its our own account.

I am not very impressed by this rule. And I don't think it will last. They may change their minds in just a few months. Or never really enforce it even.

I'm agree with you. There was no profit from such advertising and also it irritates users more than interested.

However, some have already found workarounds for publishing banned content. I saw a screenshot of an advertisement that posted information about bitcoin using typos: the lowercase English L instead of i, and the "zero" instead of the letter O in the word "bitcoin" - "BlTC0IN". Other offenders put "zero" instead of the letter "o" when writing the word "ICO".  :-\

Well i don't think facebook will ban all ICO adverts, they can look out for those that are deceptive and ban any advert coming from them, it means they will work for the crypto community in doing due diligence if they can implement this. great news in my opinion.

This can be seen as a good step as the major investment made in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were made by the amateur investors who had no idea about how cryptocurrency operations but just invested for the sake that it was a part of popular culture, Though this method that source of investors is eliminated.

Yes your right becuase facebook is also help to avoid scam, and they post it.

It is necessary to the situation and see the other side, because today social networks look completely like advertising booklets, not a place where people can calmly communicate. That's why the original idea of ​​these sites is now fulfilled.

Facebook is one of the leaders in the world of capitalist industries, it banning a cryptocurrency such as bitcoin may be for the effect that bitcoin may now have less number of transactions. Since the daily trading volume plays a big role in valuing a particular cryptocurrency we may predict a future drop in the cryptocurrency prices.

As being one of the giants in the world in terms of the user base, Facebook has so many users that if it were a country it could be compared to China, the reason I'm telling you this is because facebook banning cryptocurrencies has an adverse effect as many of the world's leading governments will also follow its path.

Many of the worlds political powers especially the G8 countries may follow the restrictions Facebook has placed on bitcoin and may generate regulatory laws that will not allow the trading of bitcoin in their geographical domain, this chain effect may harm bitcoin in the long run and banning ads also affecting the market value and price of bitcoin and also other cryptocurrencies.

Facebook always wanting to control everything! >:(

Still, I keep seeing advertisements regarding cryptocurrencies. And I have been doing Facebook Campaign which is also considered as an ad for cryptocurrency but still, I keep doing it and haven't encountered problems so far.

Facebook placing a ban on bitcoin may not even have an effect on its popularity due to the fact that bitcoin has grown to be a part of popular culture. You can see this from the fact that without it having any rigorous marketing, it has a daily trading volume of 8 billion USD, now that shows a self-sustainable work.

This is good because i was sick of watching these scams

Well goodluck to us guys there is another FUD that twitter will ban cryptocurrency ads also. All FUDs out there don't just stop hitting cryptocurrency so expect more dip to come on the upcoming days.

Great my eyes was stinging because of seeing this scams all over fb

why you say so? are you against the facebook campaign?
and I think the only thing that facebook banned about cryptocurrency is their ads. not the advertisement posted by any facebook user about cryptocurrency.

it is a pity that Facebook arranged this company, I think that first it is due to either technical difficulties or Facebook is going to follow the example of Pavel Durov and create your own currency and clear a competitive struggle

I think because of some people complain about the advertising of cryptocurrency is scam, so many people complain to facebook to banned advertising crypto, also owner of facebook or the run the sytem of facebook banned advertising to the safety of many people from being scam. Since right now there's a lot of scammed out there especially here in cryptocurrency. But dont worry even facebook banned crypto's to advertise still there's a lot of way we can advertise our crypto's.

the only reason why facebook bans cryptocurrency advertisement is to avoid being scam of their users. many scam ICO are spreads on social media so they wanted to remove all of it.they dont have any other option but to ban it.

Facebook is not against on advertising cryptocurrencies in their site , in fact some company still advertise their platforms using facebook. Facebook only banned those spam the links of cryptos in their channels.

I think because of the current policy is uncertain, if when the national policy was released, so facebook will provide ICO advertising for the investors in this country, so I don't think this is a bad news

I don't believe that this ban has actually taken place or if it has maybe it is only in certain countries as I am still seeing paid for ICO and crypto advertisements in my news feed daily.

Banning of Cypto add on facebook seems all speculations. Until now the cryto add on Facebook still alive and well.  It could be some of the people just spreading only FUD.

Well, congratulations to those who managed to make money on facebook, you rock. And those who did not, do not worry, this is not the end of the world.

yes it seems this is bad news because I hear and read not only facebook blocking ads about cryptocurrency but google also do the same thing, hopefully this is not become the nightmare of cryptocurrency players.

Most all of these platforms will eventually ban crypto ads due to increased liability's from impending lawsuits. Unfortunately as some loose on their investments they will undoubtedly pursue legal action  

I think facebook wants to manage their ads in every member's page because I see a lot of ads in my facebook pages and sometimes I feel it's not good to see too many ads and I think it disturbs me while I browse my friends or read a news. but I wonder how long the facebook will ban cryptocurrency ads from their site and I want to see the impact from this and I think the facebook revenue might be reduced because I know that the ads giving a lot of money for facebook

i am not agree with your opinion as i am doing many facebook campaigns and not facing any issue of blocking their ads. Only 2-3 pages blocked by fcebook and all others are working smoothly.

Bank of England governor and head of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) Mark Carney told G20 members that cryptoassets “do not pose risks” to the world’s economy in a letter dated March 13, Reuters reported Sunday, March 18.

The letter was addressed to G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors, who will gather for the summit in Argentina starting Tuesday March 20. In it Carney dispels the idea that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are having an adverse effect on financial security.

I have heard of it before and still find some ads made by individuals on facebook which I know is too hard to control. Most of the biggest ICO ads are not posted in facebook anymore. It is actually a disadvantage for beginners because it is another tool for them to learn about Icos. I hope it would be the last banning of bitcoin in social media sites.

the problem with ICO ads are even they are fake and scams they can afford to place their fake ICO ads on Facebook ads platform.
Facebook are bringing people closer to their loved ones so Facebook will no longer support ICO or crypto related ads to keep their users safe from fraud.

In general, very strange Facebook blocks. That will block some kind of post, then it will let you in and post it. By what principle works - it is not clear.

It seems to me Facebook is having big problem without ICO.
A few famous people like Elon Musk and WhatsApp co-founder have decided to stop use FB and sell FB shares.

It is one of the drawbacks to facebook but the thing here is there are many fakes ICO launching and advertising on Facebook. In order to control these may they are taking this decision and in terms revenue this year they will get very less amount for sure.

that is right, I see too many ads from many ICO and some of them is a scam and run the people's money so I think it is a good step from Facebook to ban the cryptocurrency ads. but somehow, I think the revenue of Facebook will down too because I think facebook take much profit from the ads itself and I think Facebook will make some regulations to control the ads so, in the future, it will not happen again with the same problem and Facebook can give the best service to their member.

facebook bans crytocurrencu ads, google does the same thing, and some more bad news about exchanges make the coinmarket red, the prices was falling, people are affaid of this market. but after all, i believe the market will recover

I heard/saw about the news. I believe it was not going to happen

There's a class action lawsuit being filed against Facebook over this ban, and I think they're gonna win it.)

The ban on ads related to Facebook encryption has further cemented the rumors that social networking is poised to advance into the world of digital money.

According to Facebook, the new policy prohibiting advertisements related to coding or social-networking ICOs of these 2 billion users is because they "are often linked to fraudulent behavior. island or misleading. "

Facebook cryptocurrency blocking ads is a complete nonsense. Facebook needs to support a virtual environment. People should not sell their knowledge to others.

As the time goes by the rules here in bitcoin forum getting tighter like the difficulties to rank up as the new rule which was implemented last week and now banning in the facebook campagin. I don't think why is it all of this happened, as the member here in bitcoin furom become many the status of newbies getting difficult and may lead to exhausted and disappointed. Well, we have nothing to do about that rule is rule and the only thing we could do is to follow the rules as they think it will good for all and for many.

this happened after constant complaints about spam messages and fraudulent crypto-currency ads

Facebook are nothing to crytpo world. Users will use to bounty campaign even fb ads ban. GOOGle do the same is not a problem. After fb and google bans ICO is still going on. Even after China ban, ICO is ok and continue to grow. Japan legalize ICO, Many project from Japan too. Cardano is from Japan. SO don't worry about fb or other socmed.

Cant sell 808 if I wanted to, was just curious. I dont really have a ton of knowledge of what to buy and sell, was just curious if people really thought this would lift off.

Bad move from fb. Will massively hit crypto world since fb is heavliy used for crypto marketing. Alternates routes are available, but this was one was the best. Also, this a big hit for cryptos. This radically reduce visibility and hence will result in massive decrease in exposure and hence now cryptos dont have another equivalent and viable option for targetted ads.

well they banned because people getting scammed ,but anything that does not benefit the personal information hijacker little zuki he moves against it,selfish and self centered ,shout out to the winklovos brothers for the case won and the threw in $11million in bitcoin. zukisnitch  am sure he could have sabotaged satoshi-nakamoto if he was in his team.

I think it's not a new, because last month i can't post .io link to my face.

I argue that it is a right and proper decision. It is quite easy to fool people with no knowledge and inexperience with good ads. In addition, many people are jumping into this trap when high profits are claimed. That is why it was decided with the aim of being a precautionary measure. It is necessary to stay behind this decision, hopefully soon the decision will not change.

Facebook banned cryptocurrency advertising is still very reasonable. There may be some inexperienced investors who are deceived by false advertising and cause investment losses. This is to protect some blind d...

Everyrhing is clear about Facebook, but Twitter is quite un certain. I’ve seen that someone still do bounty there...

Nevertheless, advertising goes, and it does not slow down. At least, I have not come across such a thing. If only banned some pages of companies, but the main reason, I do not know, so it can be any other violation of the rules. In any case, it is not entirely clear why they decided to impose such a ban on crypto-currency.

i remember back then when facebook was part of the government. and now we have this ban of crypto ads. seems like the government dont like crypto as much. but its suppose to be a hidden agenda

Yes, I heard about this ban. Of course, from our point of view, this is bad, because we simply took the opportunity to simply promote our product, and of course, of course, I think all this is connected with the warriors of banks and crypto-currencies. And what do you think about this?

Facebook bans about crypto currency ads that's why all crypto values are falling down I think as price but it's not impose on bounty hunter in Bitcoin forum.

I think once they figure out a way to separate "good" crypto ads from "scam" ads, they will bring it back. It's too much money that they will leave on the table if they don't.

In the past, many airdrop projects did not require the promotion of facebook, but now many of them require a lot of fake money. I think it's a good thing to filter out a lot of fake items.

I think this is a lie. if facebook prohibits crypto ads, why cryptocurrency project there is a facebook campaign. I think this is a lie.

Yeah and the quality airdrops will survive and spread through positive word of mouth anyway. So I think only the bad/scammy airdrops will suffer from this.

I think that the problem should be approached from the other side. The fact is that initially Facebook was created as a social network for people to communicate. And today social networks use as advertising banners. Apparently it's someone who is annoying.

 Facebook is only trying to protect its image and reputation. This move will definitely cut down on scam ICO's however at the expense of  genuine ones. There must be an alternative in situations of this kind.

i have been on facebook since then, i do not see the effectiveness of that ban, instead it has been ever on the increase. there is nothing facebook can do about that

i remember back then when facebook was part of the government. and now we have this ban of crypto ads. seems like the government dont like crypto as much. but its suppose to be a hidden agenda

On facebook even subscribers harder to add, because they block accounts, if you exceed the limitI I think that now the whole mass will switch to twitter

In early January Zuckerberg was interested in studying cryptocurrency and encryption technologies with the aim of their possible integration into the world's largest social network and now they are banned, protecting us from scammers. What's next ?

Facebook’s attitude toward cryptocurrencies now seems to be changing. I heard that they are actively planning how to use their app to implement the transaction. ???

It is a bad news because many people have attached with cryptocurrency on facebook. Facebook treat these type of post as a spam that not a good specially for bounty hunter.

Not really,how was this news about 2 months ago,so all the rules people work post ads.This is probably advertising from different companies, not private owners,so from your account on Facebook you can advertise the rules,so do not worry

And what do companies do now? Who connected facebook, but what about people who earn in bounty ?! It's not fair, I hope it's a lie. Angry

It's bad news but I think it makes this community stronger here.  I never trust social media as they can delete your account in an instant and they are very insecure.
These companies are acting for the SEC and bankers but what they don't get is they are shooting themselves in the foot as they drive away a huge amount of users and investment.

There are going to continue to be projects that challenge the status quo of the social giants and it could end up knocking them off completely if things keep heading as they do (where we crypto users are backed into a corner and have to create solutions as a necessity).

I think some of the internet platform start to ban cryptos. Facebook is only trying to protect its image and reputation. I do not know why, maybe because of the ICO reputation. This move will definitely cut down on scam ICO's however at the expense of  genuine ones. To be honest, btc has nothing to do with ICO. There must be an alternative in situations of this kind. If you want to invest into something certain, there is no such thing like that. The fact is that initially Facebook was created as a social network for people to communicate. Just invest into land or house. And today social networks use as advertising banners. But I think crypto will be more people. Apparently it's someone who is annoying. We do not need facebook.

In fact, Facebook has banned all advertising related to ICO. And I think that in the future in addition to advertising, Facebook will ban the contents of individual users if it writes about ICO and cryptocurrencies. So I think in the future there will be no Facebook bounty campaigns anymore.

Twitter has many active interactors that are very into reading news and when an ICO promotes their project it will be known for sure with a span of really short period of time because tweets are being delivered with less than a second.

This is a sad and also a good news
It's sad because other social media platform might subscribe to this idea. Facebook only did this in order to protect their image likewise other platform might want to do the same I.e protect their image .
It should be noted that the reason for this ban is due to scam

Good news because the so called scammers are loosing their grounds already and by that we are safe.

But the fact is we all are at the receiving end

Thank you

To me I feel that facebook is being threatened by the power this new technology offers. They are adjusting to the institutions who see cryptocurrency as a threat to their monopoly. Maybe they know that a new financial order is about to emerge and are doing all they can to stop it.

 I have heard that they banned paid advertisements but not the bounty hunters who would just share the posts from companies

 so I have stopped doing Facebook campaign actually because of that Facebook is really irritating when you are working with bounties

 I think that social media bounties will soon came to the end, also one of the greatest team had already give them off

They're probably just playing it safe and banning SCAM ads anyway.

The ones that are actually good will survive no doubt and find other ways to advertize.

I do not agree with that we work well and do not violate the law why it can be so and I hope it is just an issue is not a reality and if it is true maybe we should seek a work agreement

I think that the main argument in banning advertising crypto currency on FaceBook is that FaceBook itself wants to launch its service on the blockbuster and therefore tries to restrict itself from competitors.

I saw this news today also. The ban may not last forever though, those advertisements make FB money and thats the name of the game. They will probably have a more stricter guideline as to who can advertise.

This is an old news, but I still find that part of it now has a heavy impact on the Crypto market. Google has issued a policy prohibiting the advertising of Crypto, but now still apply advertising, they can not be banned.

This is not a serious problem when I heard that FB ban other cryptocurrency because they will co-operate with Litecoin. So, do not too worried about some bad news. You must research carefully before making decisions

I understand why the facebook banned the cryptocurrency ads on their website because there are many scammers that rides on the popularity of facebook to fool people and scammed people. Facebook is only protecting the rights of their users to the scammers.

Does it really reach the final decision of banning the cryptocurrency ads in Facebook? Well, I'm still seeing some ICOs promote their project in the FB. but, of course, I believe that FB may ban the ICO that uses the spams in promoting their project. Some bounty participants that spam or scam on the FB are also going to be banned. but, for some good and legal ICOs, I think that they are still allowed with no spam or scam.

You are right. Data is the new currency of 21st century and is used by big technology giants to monetize for their own benefits giving nothing in return to the end user. They are seeing the blockchain technology a threat to their business and this move is just to secure future of their business.

I don't blame them, too many scams on there.

This event can definitely influence the Bitcoin value on the market. Facebook is one of the biggest companies on the market now. I am not sure whether it is the right move for this company or not. I hope that have planned it through.

The banning is less of facebook not being in support of cryptocurrency. It is more of the platform trying to protect their users from getting scammed through these ads which are obviously placed by scammers to lure unsuspecting victims who just want to invest. This is good for the crypto market too

ICOs used to have a lot of traffic from there as far as I know. Probably, we will see more sort of listings sites and more ads there.

Facebook forbidden to post advertisement of any cryptocurrency, ICO and binary options on their sites – the Facebook, Instagram and Audience Network (advertising on third-party applications), said the Director of product line Facebook Rob Lizerne on the website of the social network.

Advertising these financial instruments often misleads users or is associated with misleading methods of promotion, says Facebook. Many companies that now advertise these tools, work in bad faith, also noted in the message. based on their official statement, everything looks logical

Can you think what would be possible to happen if the facebook ban all crypto currency? Banning crypto currency is such a coward move. Lets not be blinded by those news, we are here to earn not to criticize someone or something.

This is obviously not good news, but facebook's founders are interested in encrypting money markets, they simply ban the advertising of ICO, but do not ban the encryption of cryptocurrency markets

As being one of the giants in the world in terms of the user base, Facebook has so many users that if it were a country it could be compared to China, the reason I'm telling you this is because facebook banning cryptocurrencies has an adverse effect as many of the world's leading governments will also follow its path.

I think that they have a secret plan to create their own ICO and they want to get involve in cryptocurrency since, in the cryptocurrency, they can reach more profit. maybe they did that is because they don't want to see that their user see too many ads about the ICO that can make their user being scam by the programs. we don't know what exactly their reason for banning cryptocurrency ads and until now, they don't make a clarification about this and I think it is better that we don't have too often to place the ads about the ICO in the facebook.

The banning was an old news. It has been almost two days since facebook decided to unban ICO related advertisements from their platform. The ban of advertising ICOs was due to high increase of scams and misleading information which made facebook partly responsible for letting those advertisements up. We hope that the current unban will positively affect the market.

I had time to read news from bitcoin news that Facebook will reopen crypto ads on their platforms, this is certainly good news and a sign that crypto is being accepted as a revolutionary technology

this news has spread several times and I am not so confident with this news even though there are many media that load this news, and its real until now facebook campaign still exist.

currently posting is busy talking about the prohibition of facebook for ico ads. I wonder, do you guys become worried and panicked? I'm not surprised because I'm sure crypto will still run even though social media forbids it.

Facebook is one of the leaders in the world of capitalist industries, it banning a cryptocurrency such as bitcoin may be for the effect that bitcoin may now have less number of transactions.

It's quite the opposite. Now facebook allowed to advertise crypto-currencies, but there still remained restrictions on advertising, if you are interested in this, then you can find this information on the Internet. I think that they will promote crypto-currencies themselves.

Facebook banned cryptocurrency advertising is still very reasonable. There may be some inexperienced investors who are deceived by false advertising and cause investment losses. This is to protect some blind d...

Hmm, its seem Facebook start to alow cryptocurrency ads to show up and this move is really positive that can make the market fully recover. Facebook let crypto currency to buy ads, but ico can't is showing that they want to make crypto market more clean and legit.

That's for sure. I saw a lot of scam ICO advertisement there, it was very annoying. I hope Google will follow same thing and we won't see any scam ICO advertisement in Google adsense/adwords spaces. They have to regulate ads to protect potential customers.

They will only stop accepting cryptorelated and ICO paid advertisement to their advertising program in facebook,but it doesnt mean that they will ban all the users from posting and sharing links about these ICOs,cryptocurrency promotions,relax this is not a new thing in facebook.

This is obviously not good news, but facebook's founders are interested in encrypting money markets, they simply ban the advertising of ICO, but do not ban the encryption of cryptocurrency markets..

This is not a serious problem when I heard that FB ban other cryptocurrency because they will co-operate with Litecoin. So, do not too worried about some bad news. You must research carefully before making decisions

I think I have read it sometime that facebook is reversing its stand about banning crypto in a facebook posts. But anyway, with all the fake news today its so hard to believe with anything that goes in the news.

In January, they said one thing, now when the big players enter the game they will say something else. Nobody can accurately say how much money this company has entered the crypt market, and how much they want to earn on it, time will tell.

You see, in February the banned it and the whole world knew about that thanks to mass media, now they restrict ban and what - nobody knows that, only those who involved in crypto, even not all of them. Some are posting their opinion on this "bad ban news" still in this topic ;)
Thats why I think the entire media area is a big manipulation to hit bitcoin to low. Somebody want it

Well I think this isn't just a fake news because I read that Facebook had already remove the banning issue. Besides, even Facebook haven't remove the ban we can still see crypto related advertisement so I think this isn't some big deal for Mark Zuckerberg.

Always do our own diligent in researching.

Good News for all members joining social media campaign that facebook banning or restricting those  bounties which are  not licensed . It Will reduces scammers in social media . It is the bounty signature of the company we have joined in forwarded thoSe Ads we are promoting . So means to say if the Facebook company accepted that Ads being forwarded by the ICO or the bounty company then iit is genuine. Lucky those people who joined them because their time Will not be wasted.

Yes this is not good news. I hope that this applies only to official advertising and not to posts and reposts. It will be very bad for bounty campaigns.

Yeah they ban cryptos in the past, I guess they banned it in the early beginning of this year but they have reviewed it once again and they have reversed their ban though they have some rules in place

If for me it does not matter if for example Facebook prohibits this cryptocurrenny ads because I do not follow the Facebook campaign because I prefer to follow the signature campaign because the fee is more expensive than the Facebook campaign and other social medical

I don't generally locate any awful goals for Facebook on forbidding Cryptocurrencies since they simply don't their basic mission and vision, conveying individuals closer to the networks.

Let be honest! More ICOs are tricks and misrepresentation and Facebook wouldn't like to help those tricksters could exploit the general population's shortcomings on putting into Cryptocurrencies.

Prohibiting these ICO advertisements could shield Facebook from individuals' response after they fall into trick.

Not a happy news, ICO developers lost a major advertising market.

I read a lot of news about it. I've been told before. But we can not see the concrete steps clearly. I do not say I see this. I hope this is not happening. Prohibition. This is a sector. Everybody makes a lot of money.

In my own opinion, the only reason why facebook is banning cryptocurrency advertisements is because of the other ico's who are just scamming their investors and facebook does not want to be connected on a scam.

good news facebook reopens cryptocurrency ads and but ban on ico coins still exist so facebook is supportive towards cryptocurrency which is a good move all together

As being one of the giants in the world in terms of the user base, Facebook has so many users that if it were a country it could be compared to China, the reason I'm telling you this is because facebook banning cryptocurrencies has an adverse effect as many of the world's leading governments will also follow its path.

Facebook has already canceled the blocking of crypto currency advertising, is actively hiring blockchain of programmers to work. I think that facebook is preparing to launch its crypto currency.

This is very good. People cannot just use a whitepage to collect money. A good project at least should have their products (alpha product) to do their advertisement. Facebook is helping this new market to grow health and live longer. Be cool! guys.

I'm not really sure about this because i still saw some ads about crypto. In my opinion ithey should not ban it because it is also a good opportunity for them to earn profit 😂

It is normal that Facebooks banning cryptocurrecny ads and those who spams about new ICOs, because mostly it is bot spamming. They so not want to be as Twitter or Instagram - heaven for bots sending messages about what you should buy

I thought one of the Facebook team just left to join a crypto? Can't seem to find it now...
Anyway, Facebook have rescinded their advertising ban for cryptos. In my estimation, they are hugely involved in their own projects and will now
be able to control the narrative.

Well, first of all in Facebook, not all accounts of banels that are associated with crypto-currency, only those accounts that endlessly spammed the information were banned, with all this for free and at the same time mostly spam projects were advertised. But already this is not strictly treated, only those who spam a lot of spam

why? " Facebook bans cryptocurrency ads.."  It is an information network that can be shared to many people.

Facebook is not against on advertising cryptocurrencies in their site , in fact some company still advertise their platforms using facebook. Facebook only banned those spam the links of cryptos in their channels.

Maybe they are trying to limit themselves from fraud on the part of the same ICO, but everyone understands that the future is crypto-currency, and by limiting themselves, they remain in place.

Yes, this event is really very, very sad, because after all many projects allocate special money for participation in the programs of support of projects. But now let's hope that the budget does not decrease from this

That is one of the reasons why ICO projects are becoming less and making their capital inflows drastically reduced. I think facebook has greatly influenced the development of ICO projects and made the Crypto market less attractive.
Hopefully in the future they will change their mindset and support the Cryptocurrency advertising.

I am shocked they did this because it is quick easy money for them. But I am happy the fact that I will see less spammy adverts from ICOs that I am not interested in.

There are some reason why facebook issued bannng for crypto ads epecially those promoting their project eith multiple peoe involve that cpuld lead to facebook's server clogging. But as far as i know facebook recently reversed their banning issue for crypto ads.

As being one of the giants in the world in terms of the user base, Facebook has so many users that if it were a country it could be compared to China, the reason I'm telling you this is because facebook banning cryptocurrencies has an adverse effect as many of the world's leading governments will also follow its path.

This is very good. People cannot just use a whitepage to collect money. A good project at least should have their products (alpha product) to do their advertisement. Facebook is helping this new market to grow health and live longer. Be cool! guys.

Yes, Facebook can really ban for advertising. But mostly ban is for ICOs. Due to the fact that 80% of all ICOs is Scam.

On the off chance that that is in this way, well, I think Facebook Campaigns wouldn't be compelling at that point. I can envision that one of our sources we're vanishing and it's not suitable that they are generally blurring. These are our approaches to procure and spare, and yt they'd halted it. However, I figure it will in any case proceed. Possibly, Facebook is simply investigating Facebook clients who they believe are spamming. I as of now encounter once at that point, I'm sharing Posts and posting my status about a specific ICO and afterward there's a warning that says they erased those posts for they imagine that it's a method for spamming. Thus, immediately, I quit doing Facebook Campaigns and I simply thought with signature crusades.

This is the same like internet or google should have banned Facebook for not showing them in the google ads or somewhere in the internet, they want to stop bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but this is not going to happen, bitcoin can not be stopped completely even though there are many governments and europe too that are making hard to buy or sell bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies, even the banks are closing the accounts of the people that are withdrawing money from exchanges.

Right! I have not seen facebook promoting bitcoin. There are no personal stories about bitcoin. Initially I thought facebook would help more people know bitcoin more. Because everyone has an account to log in. Turns out facebook has implemented a ban on electronic money.

i think instead of banning they should regulate this, just like at any other ad types

Looks like it affected only targeted advertising and that`s all, because nobody declined bounty campaigns

As per the post, it say that Ads are banned, any idea about people sharing post related to these subjects. Some bounty programs have taken this into unnecessary complexity level and these are the facts of this kind banning, as I think. The better side of this is, the new project team will think about this and they will make a good, quality projects so that any medium does not want to stop them.

Bitcoin is different from the altcoin, it does not need to be advertised, because almost everyone has heard it once. And another feature is the altcoin advertised on facebook because most of them want to invite more investors to their projects.

This is not a serious problem when I heard that FB ban other cryptocurrency, but even though Facebook banned crypto ads there will still be no effect on the altcoins or all of the tokens itself, yes it will promote ICO's projects and platforms but it is only a little part of the industry. do not too worried about some bad news.

well if this news is true, maybe it is a bad news for all bounty hunters who participated in the fb campaign. but its not only facebook in which you can promote icos, there are still twitter and youtube. but  it affects facebook is the most widely used social media person.

If it's true then advertising the ICO on facebook will not be feasible, and bounty hunters like me will not want to, the future is so dark!

I believe this is already an old news because I've read in an online article news that they like lift the ban already maybe because they will be adapting the Blockchain technology.

Almost a year has passed, and Facebook has again started to ban anyone who often mentions cryptocurrencies. I do not know what they do not like (

I cannot see any point in showing ads to random people. The main issue of most ICOs is disability to locate its target audience. That is why most of ads will not work.

No, not anymore, it was before, as I recall, that people very often really couldn’t advertise anything on facebook, because so many people were really forbidden to do something before, this was the case, today it’s not like that.

Who cares about such restrictions? Ads on FB may be very expensive and useless. As for me, bounty campaign is much better way to enter market.

Instagram and Twitter tried to copy this action, but it does not seem to be successful descision. Still, I see some crypto ads even in messenger app.

Not any more. They understood that they loose significant part of profits, so they are ready to give permission to place advertisments related with crypto.

For bounty hunters and ICO's this will be a big thumbs down since we need the best platform to advertise, facebook is one of it. But in the case of Facebook, it is a good move to protect and maintain the user experience that a facebook user should experience. It is to avoid irritated viewing numerous ads.

I think advertising should be limited. Now it is very easy to become a victim of fraud.

I don't like it, but I understand it, FB is still private company and has the right to ban anything, if it's still the property of someone, he can do everything he wants to.
But it means Facebook noticed crypto and really does not like it very much, maybe dangerous thing for bounties in the future.

I do not think there is anything bad about this Facebook is only being secure and a better place many people have tried to run mins camp and they succeed because Facebook does not have any restrictions back then but now things are about to change Facebook is being serious. It's true that many people are going to take this matter in a bad point of you but think it in a normal way just like a human want with not want to watch about money all the time Facebook is just being a bit cleaner so we can enjoy without social like a bit more.

Who cares about such restrictions? Advertising FB can be very expensive and useless. In my opinion, the campaign for compensation is a much better way to market.

Maybe that is true, this market is too risky, they do not like it they ban, no one can stop them, but I still agree with the opinion of facebook put, should not spread the widespread electronic money .

When cryptocurrencies became popular, many people used cryptocurrencies for fraud, which is why Facebook banned cryptocurrency ads!

I do not see any reason to show ads to people randomly. The main problem is the inability of most of the ICO to locate their target audience. That is why most ads will not work.

The binary options I can see in the facebook ads every time I open it. It is good to know that facebook ban them. Because most case it is just another scam act.

WOW and WOW and WOW...
This is a huge addition in cryptocurrency if Facebook will launch their own blockchain or cryptocurrency.
As the community is really bad now, we need a more giant company to set their foot in the community of crypto.
If Facebook will do their own then many will come too.

No longer. They realized that they are losing a significant portion of the profits, so be prepared to give permission for advertising related to cryptography.

Instagram and Twitter have tried to copy this action, but it seems that this is not a good solution. However, I see some cryptic ads even in the messenger.

i wonder what are real reasons behind it. it is a controversial issue about binary options of course, but what can we do about the fact people use any means of gaining the profit including crypto hype?

It is the old information... Facebook, probably, works on its own blockchain, and the management do not against crypto, believe me.

As far as I know, they only stop posting crypto ads and paid advertisements for various dubious ICOs. But I do not think that they decided to ban publications for all users. As before, I consider Facebook one of the most effective and popular ways to promote ICO.

I am sure that this is not a completely correct opinion. Of course, Facebook decided to pay for advertising of various dubious ICOs. But in principle, advertising of various cryptocurrencies there remains permitted. And with Facebook you can quite successfully work with advertising projects, you just need to take into account certain limitations.

They imposed the ban until they were about to release their tokens, as soon as they decided to launch their cryptocurrency, this is what ICO advertising has become more loyal!

As far as I know, Facebook decided to advertise various dubious ICOs. And this is probably a reasonable solution. Because the social network seeks to protect its users from unnecessary risks and financial losses. But most cryptocurrencies can work with Facebook, if they take into account certain rules.

I do not think that the fesbuka will bounty they do not need. On the TV show. Article will write. And that's all. They have an audience of 1,000,000 times more than you can cover.

I agree because we also have to want to see the positive side because I realize that it is not only me who uses Facebook, not only cryptocurrency activists who use Facebook, there are still many who use Facebook who may not know about crypto and maybe they feel annoyed with crypto ads so I feel that this policy is a fairer policy because basically Facebook is social media and we already have a place to doing our hobbies and work, yes in this forum and I think that is enough

Based on my research about this topic, Facebook is not promoting cryptocurrency and actually they are banning some of its ads because some of it is about ICO and many ICO project right now are just turning into scam. The ceo want to prevent that to happen to their users so they ban ads of crypto.

is facebook still a thing? they are losing customers month by month, one  scandal brings the next one with it. i have deleted my account like 2 years ago or even longer. facebook will end up in the same way as myspace did. no one cares about it and no one will use this platform anymore in the future :)

This argument is partially true. In their statement, there is no specific mention about Bitcoin or Ether, and the ban was necessitated by the extreme proliferance of various scam ICOs. Many of these ICOs were using social media bounty campaigns to promote their projects and this was noticed by the FB admins. After carefully studying their ban, I am not sure whether it is proper to complain about it. First we need to get the house in order, before we complain about Facebook or any other company.

Yes, now Facebook has tightened certain rules on cryptocurrency advertising on its pages. But, as before, this social advertising remains a great way for effective and affordable advertising. Personally, I myself continue to work with Facebook in this direction, although I had to learn additional rules.

Well at that time was not a good decision and i think there maybe was a conspiration against crypto, but now as i read Facebook will create own crypto and i think they should be more permisive with crypto.
