Can't believe google will follow FB and stop all ICO advertisment.
FB probably did it cause of Scam projects that she couldn't controll - The only way to be clean from it for them was to pause all advertising.

anyone know why facebook cryptocurrency advertising is not allowed? and the impact is very felt on the price of bitcoin, and I'm sure one day, twitter, instagtam, even google will prohibit circulation of cryptocurrency ads, whereas facebook and google is the king of digital advertising world

Hopefully the ecosystem will dissolve all the scammers.

FB was a jungle with many scam projects being promoted although i doubt it if google will ban is as well.
i saw in many Crypto sites Google ads.

Mainly security issues - See the explaination below:

"the policy is aimed at improving integrity and security of ads within its network. According to Francesco Redaelli, the Co-Founder & VP of Business Development at Koinsquare, “the action taken by Facebook has primarily the purpose of protecting investors to its community, given the huge presence of SCAM projects. They’re moving in to limit and curb the phenomenon of projects that could for obvious reasons bring a bad publicity even to Facebook itself.”"

Google is not a social media like facebook.
I think google benefits from crypto or ICO ads. there is no reason for them to ban ICO. Stop making anxiety and this kind of spread fear.

Facebook noted that this position could be mitigated in the future by creating effective algorithms to detect fraudulent advertisements.

But for now at least it will not be full with scam ICOs.

But I doubt google will do it.

I think google not going to ban all ico advertising, google gain profit from this kind of advertisement but they aware about scam detected ico programs. also fb and other social media is very important platform for advertisement of any products but fb not allow any scam project they are it's detect via their own way.

I think google won't follow. Banning cryptocurrency will only put google at a disadvantage to its competitor. The consequences will be severe and irreversible.

I doubt if Google would ban ICO marketing.
Why pick on crypto?
there is already so much crap online it is up to people to form their own conclusions and make informed decisions,
and thats not just for crypto.

Here is what Jason Roy has stated about Google.

A senior investigator at the Manitoba Securities Commission in Canada has said that the country's regulators are "very pleased" with social media giant Facebook's decision to ban ads for bitcoin and initial coin offerings (ICOs),

Jason Roy, who is also the chairman of Canada's Binary Options Task Force, said that regulators have been in conversations with Google regarding their concern that "these types of ads are leading people to becoming victims."

 i dont think tha they will ban it there isso much crap that they are advertising....

this is still not final Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg declared digital money and decentralized technology will he learned in 2018 as part of his efforts to solve the problem on Facebook. While some think the presence of digital money as a positive thing, Zuckerberg sees this technology still has two sides.

Social Media and other popular internet giants don't want to help scammers to victimize their users that's why it's not impossible that also Google will impose on banning ICOs ads on their platform.
Cryptocurrency is the future of our economy and trade and it's also the way that the bad guys can get money from the people who wanted to adapt this future monetary.
Google should ban the Crypto and other related in order for them not to help the scams and frauds getting money to their users.

google ad words banning is possible because a lot of ico scammers use google adwords to steal money. that isnt well for google s reputation. they could ban and we will see another dip

There are a lots of ads with low quality who advertise on Google. I do not think that Google will follow Facebook because of this reason.

I think google will not ban ico marketing, if we visit the site or blog then we can see there are various kinds of ico ads provided by AdSense.
If you know google, then you must know with AdSense.

i cant see why its a problem. too many scam projects, the impact on bitcoin is temporary only.

In my opinion google won't follow because the only reason I think Facebook banned promoting ICOs and other crypto currencies is because the scams is uncontrollable and Facebook can't afford watching people get scammed.

I'm not sure if google to ban crypto marketing, because if so it seems google will lose revenue and be a loss because all activities related to ICO and crypto currency is dominated and supported and allowed by google. many places digoogle about the development of ICO and crypto let alone advertising about crypto marketing, because google is one of a good connector and puller to increase the number of investors, google media best ICO, therefore will loss if google out of the contribution, everything is related.

Google is a business corporation in which it continue to exist because of advertising business therefore as long as ICO will pay for their adds to be promoted then google will not ban them. I just feel bad for FB as they are very bias to their decision as they generalize that all ICO is a scam as they ban it with no exemptions but i believed they just want ICO to pay them too.

I hope not, because if google ban ICO, it will adversely affect the market (I think).

I don't think so that google will also ban ico marketing. If this will also happen then there will be no more credibility to ICO's and this will have a good effect to those who are planning to create their own ICO. I know that google has a lot of ads but this will also reduce their charts(sales).
Not that really will affect the investors but the ICO advertisers are the ones to be directly affected but there are still a lot of way to promote their ads.

I dont think so google will follow facebook. Facebook and google are two different company.

Maybe , over time, advertising requirements for cryptocurrency on such sites will be limited, at least until the market of cryptocurrency is legalized.

indeed facebook and twitter has been block any ad about cryptocurrency and bitcoin. but free account users provide the information they want as long as it does not violate share rules rules on facebook and twitter. but for google I think it's too general and it will definitely reap a lot of protests if google prohibits advertising something about crypto.

There is a less chance that google would make some stupid regulations like banning ICOs,google isnt a social media likd other.Probaby it will only affect people who is participating these ICOs especially when they are at the U.S  most of these potential investors are going stop their investment but google is morelikely more open than any of these social media websites so there isa less chance for ban in cryptocurrency and ICO related topics.

I think no, can't say exactly but I've advertised on both the platforms earlier. Facebook is very strict in banning ads, Many of my CPA marketing ads were removed firm there though it wasn't any black hat products. But Google Adsense and Bing on the other hand accepts the ads or atleast they are keeping it inline Facebook.

Do you guys think there is a chance to break these rules in a "creative" way?  ;)

Currently, the addition of Bitcoin should follow a trend that is easily tracked by the response of Google users in the discussion on Reddit. Of course, at the height of popularity, Google's crypto might get a solid +1 to its image. The future of cryptocurrency is not clear, but in Google they prefer to know to what future they are going and are cautious.

If the google don't want the money from the scam crypto currency projects then they may ban it but I don't think it will happen.

But I don't think the google or the facebook advertisement is very important for the ICO project because these ads may not the primary source so even if they ban it it will not affect the ICO projects.

I don't think so, because the advertising of the ICO project is actually quite high in Google.
We can still receive other fraudulent ads from Google, so I don't think Google will ban the ICO ads. ;D

To this day, half the advertisements i see on Facebook is still ICO's.
So not sure this ban is very effective or if it is just some BS by Facebook.
At least I see the same amount of ICO advertisements as I did before the "ban"

It seems to me that Google is a company that has no political considerations on this matter. Although of course everything can be, because as far as I remember they had some problems with the Crimean peninsula

It will be harder for ICOs to reachout new investors in crypto because of these marketing ban. But why should they worry about it when there are tons of investors here in the forum and still these campaign can be set up manually by liking and sharing post on facebook. As long as the team can create a facebook page and update followers, they can still reach out people interested in crypto.

I hope not Google is smarter than Bitcoin I don't think they will ban that because there are a lot of adsense publishers that are cryptorelated so a big percentage of their advertisers will lose profit and will shift to another advertising company Google is more bigger than facebook in my opinion.

I don't think google will do that. Google is known as more open in that regard.

this very bad decision will ruin the reputation of Facebook. people themselves decide what to publish and read, if it does not contradict the law and morals

Perhaps Google also stop advertising ICO. But for me it does not matter, because I learn about new projects on this forum. I think Facebook and Google will simply lose money from the ban on advertising.

Actually facebook is still advertising ICOs and cryptocurrencies. I believe they have a screening process befor ethey put crypto ads in their website. They are regulating to avoid scams and other fraud on crytocurrencies. In terms of google, they will not ban ads for cryptos because they are also earning from it.

i think google supports crypto because they even made metamask. im guessing they have been planning many things from behind. blockchain has many opportunities and many wide possibilities to improve. im not sure in facebooks but hearing that they ban marketing related to crypto, Im guessing they aren't benefiting from it.

Yes, now a very terrible situation with these social networks, I honestly do not understand why this is happening now, because social networks are a great place to show people new opportunities in the crypto currency, but for some reason the administration of facebook decided to ban this business

Facebook announced that it will ban cryptocurrencies... acting like they own the internet... the web is much larger than facebook and they don't control it. Their statement means nothing to cryptocurrencies. Similarly, when google decides to ban all cryptocurrencies, it might cause slight disappointment in the market but eventually the market will recover when investors find out that google's statement meant nothing. These giant companies control a huge portion of the web marketing but they don't control the web itself.

I do not think google will do the same thing as Facebook. Google was set up major for things similar to this nature. It help to bring stuff and projects like this to limelight. Google is also for marketing, so i do not see how it will happen.

Its plain baseless conjecture, one that has made no difference to the market or facebook members, and obviously will not matter on google either.

I think if Google wanted to ban the promotion of ICO he would have already done it after Facebook. But since he hasn't done, it is unlikely, though, to say exactly of course, no one can

No google doesnt give a shit with anyone until you stopped paying them,google has less censoreship compare to facebook that has been changing their terms and condition in regular basis,google is more open to almost anything because they have google adsense which is the biggest advertising program in the world,so there will be less chance that google will ban ICO advertisements.

Yeah I don't think google cares as long as they're not harming google directly in any way.

That's strange.
It is said that Facebook banned ICOs,new coins from being advertised but I still see ICOs and even ponzi schemes being displayed when I surf through Facebook.
Did they change their mind or the ban hammer didn't kick yet?
I don't think that Google Adsense will follow since as far as I know a big chunk of current ads displayed in Google Adsense are cryptorelated that would make a big lose for them

I doubt it, but I'm kinda hoping that Google and many other sites would follow through.

i have recently reading that article and the last part of the article said if google will realize it then it will have no effect for ICO project because they still can do promote their project through another ways but i liked the idea about Google have to identify ICO advertisers by requiring important informations such as physical addresses and even the details regarding upcoming ICO project to avoid scam project

Google has suffered enough with the boycott from the big companies when it comes about YouTube.
I doubt Google will risk to lose a lot of money from the crypto ads just because of morals and scams. On facebook things get a little more personal, but Google, they don't care that much.

It looks strange that the Facebook banned some forms of cryptocurrency advertisement. I thought Mark Zuckerberg is interested in developing both its own cryptocurrency and the whole cryptomarket.

I'm still seeing lots of ICO ads on Facebook. They're not banning ico ads actually.
They're banning fake ico news which try to download virus, trojan, malware etc.
Why they targeted ICO ads? Because in these days ICO's are getting more attention than naked girls etc.

No,google has the most biggest advertising program in the planet,google adsense ? i am a blogger for about 10years so i know this,google has less censorship compare to the very complicated facebook terms and condition that is being change regularly.Google has a lot of advertisers so NO,ICOs wont be a problem to google if they are paying the right amount.

By the way, why did facebook do so. What do you think? I think that facebook just wants money, of course, he wants money, because people collect such amounts of money on the ICO, but here it turns out that facebook does not get a single cent from this advertisement, although people advertise it

When one can tell the difference between the scams and fake projects the fakes are actually very beneficial.  They keep people out of the real projects for long enough to make a fortune.  Stop worrying about it and start playing the game guys.  A lot of special snowflakes miss out on great opportunities crying about everything when you could be profiting.  These scams may be helping you get great prices on real projects. 

Also if they could stop the scamming they would have done it by now.  its not possible.  Its like trying to build a unbreakable safe.  Eventually the crooks get in. 

I don't think google will follow. Facebook actually still post ads and campaigna about ico's until now. I still see ads and campaigns about the latest ICO's on my wall. I don't think google will follow facebook for banning campaigns because it isn't censored and restricted unlike social medias these days.

I was surprised about FB decision. Because they have a plan introduce their own cryptocurrency in this year or next year. I don't think google follow that. If they do, it will be a next market crash.

I agree, FB is just full of bullshit, regarding any category, not only crypto. But, as usual, cryptos are evil  ::)

I dont think google would do that,because these ICOs are paying good amount of money to their advertisement,google is less complicated than facebook's because FB has minor audience that is why they are just protecting the folks from a potential scams,because we all know that most of the ICOs are raising funds too much but at the end will run away from the investors,GOOGLE is the biggest advertising company and facebook is a social media website.

The google is not going to follow the Facebook example. I think somebody just paid to the Facebook and they did it just to earn some money. The google is rich enough for that sort of things.

I think that there will not be a direct ban on google. Most ICO projects attract investors through advertising and a well-hyped project. Yes, some are scammers, but not all. I think that facebook still realizes that it has lost a large audience of users of its network.

I dont think so because google has the biggest advertising company in the world which is adsense,youtube and google has partnership with this advertising program which is a lot bigger than facebook's advertising program.Google doesnt care about what you are doing if you are paying good in their services,censorship is less concern with google.

Yes scam is the biggest problem in a cryptocommunity, but I do not imagine how ecosystem can dissolve all the scammers. Some strict actions should be taken.

Overall, I don't see Google following in the same path as FB. And I am going to have to disagree with Mr. Stanfords opinion that, “Regulation will only speed up adoption by bringing it more attention.” There has to be a better method to weed out what is real and what isn't, or at least I hope there will be.

I think google can't ban the facebook marketing because facebook marketing is going very speedly and facebook are paying some money of marketing to google and google follows to facebook marketing.

Unlike google, Facebook is a social media site, and i dont see the comparison here, nor similar repercussions of any such move. Google has no need to follow in facebooks footsteps, nor any need to implement any such ban.

I think that Google doesn't do this. Facebook is afraid of losing advertising contracts, which will go to the community. I think companies will buy advertising directly to consumers without intermediaries in the future.

I think they already did that but still we can't avoid other ICO who's intention is not good. And it is hard to determine which ICO is legit. Moreover, I think not all ICO were totally banned.

Yahoo and Bing will have a great reason to celebrate if Google ever bans crypto promotion ;D ;D It is a huge piece of dollar pie and the world's top search engine won't ban it.

it's very disappointing to hear facebook has banned ico ads, and do not let google follow the footsteps of facebook, because if google to do so, then I'm sure the market price will drop and the number of investors will also decrease
