Previously all know that Google announced the ban on advertising of crypto-currency investment, which will come into force from the beginning of June. However, the Russian crypto entrepreneur Vladimir Orekhov intends to challenge the legality of the decision of the Corporation, in connection with which he filed a lawsuit against the Russian representative office of Google in order to convict him 2 billion rubles for causing moral damage and lost profits. Among other requirements Smith - the lifting of the ban on advertising of crypto-currencies by means of advertising opportunities Google. The press Secretary of the Zamoskvoretsky court confirmed that the court registered the claim of the citizen Orekhov on March 15.

For some reason it seems how tough would not be the businessman, he's not taking a penny from Google. Too strong a Corporation, so just to take away $ 2 billion.

That sounds interesting, because it looks more like a joke.
Since most of the current ICO projects are fraudulent projects, it is perfectly normal for Google to ban the advertising of ICO.

Cryptocurrency is a multi-billion industry. Google decision i dont think it will last for long. Cryptocurrency will prosper without google then. 

Also read yesterday about it. In fact such precedentss play well in our hands. They may be able to stop the ICO ad blocking.

This looks interesting. My question is that did he sign a contract with google for the advertisement of crypto ad? One thing i know for sure, when one door closes, another will open. If google decides to ban crypto ad and it comes into effect on the said date, there will be alternatives and better alternatives. Even as at now, there are better alternatives to crypto ads other than google. Come June, as announced, everyone one would see that crypto will survive through  medium of advertisements.

Of course it will not cost them anything, they are here if I wanted to take away, and so no. Even if he does not dream, really no matter how strong a businessman he is, he has nothing to do.

I do not think that he will achieve payment in court, this is Google's business what kind of advertising to show. There are many other sites where advertising crypto currency.

Heh! it's worth our time. In Russian there is only Google Representation. I agree that the antimonopoly service can get a fine to them. But these will be ridiculous money. Mr. Orekhov will not get anything except spent nerves.

Excuse me, $2 billions? heh, Google is earning that number in two hours when you're having your breakfast at the morning, I'm totally sure they'll ignore that Orekhov. Anyway, it's a free advertisement for that businessman.

this is just nonsense. either this news is pure crap written by some idiot on one of these news sites to have some click baits going on, or this person who is doing this is really the biggest idiot on earth.

imagine i have a website and you come to me and ask me to put up your ad on my website and i refuse, do you think you can sue me for not accepting your ad? ... the judge would laugh his ass off...
google is the same, it is a platform and they are free to choose any rules they like and reject any type of ads they want.

in fact bitcointalk (this forum) is also rejecting ICO ads! you can read about it in the auctions board on the topics created by theymos for ad space. can you sue bitcointalk too for not letting certain ads on its platform?

I think he has lost the case before it even be heard, why is he not suing facebook because facebook started this first. I think this is just a media stunt to gain attention which I think he is getting now, I can do anything I want with my company he can use other platforms to promote what he wants

How do you imagine it? Google is an advertising company and it has the complete right to decide whether to advertise anything or not.
That man must be a little out of his wits :)

I think he can sue anyone he wants but that doesn't mean he'll get what he wants. Although I am not happy with Google trying to ban cryptocurrency but there is very little you can do. May be it's time that some other search engine take them over but they've gotten too big.

it's about $35mln USD, and it a fair claim, cause google does not have the right to restrict an organisation to advertise its product or service, if it does not contradict the law.

And what was the point in suing him for $ 2 billion then? if he could do what ads to place somewhere not in Google and Yandex for example.

I would like to wish good luck to this businessman. I am bored with monopolization, which is carried out by giants of IT-industry, such as Google, FB etc.

Finally, someone has responded to these social media!

Everyone has their own thoughts and choice, no matter the businessman can Sue change the practice of Google, he is also in the digital encryption currency market support, the ico his investment will also concern!

That is great initiative, i thing google and similar giants are just taking advantage if their monopoly and taking decisions one sidedly, this needs to be changed, i think it is about time for a decentralized google, fb and twitter where users should be the decision makers.

firstly please change your title from $2m to 2m roubles. Secondly he can sue google but he won't get anything from that lawsuit because it doesn't make any sense. Google will allow ICO ads again when they're regulated

Well, you need to have a lot of courage to go against google, maybe it will start the war between America and Russia! :) (just kidding, I hope...)
However, the Russians are tough guys, so if this guy have made this decision it means that he knows what he is doing.

It will be difficult for this guy to get something, I do not know which court could dare to go against google, which has many means to take revenge.
However, congratulations for his daredevil!

I doubt that Google is scared by this character, more over the requests he makes are quite delusional.
But the Russians are very strong people, and so, who knows,   maybe he can get something.

Google is a private venture. They are announced the bad in advance. So he can sue them for  lost profits my ass.

He have exactly ZERO chance for success.

Hmm, very interesting info. It will be interesting whether he will be able to win litigation in such a giant as Google.

Yes that's right decision, I'm going to give a two thumbs for this GUy! Yes Google is a huge company they want to monopolize the market and they created fud news that can cause a major dump on all alts especially bitcoin. This guy needs a support from us so we wanted to support you all the way!

Wow! I hope that this aggeement of crypto bussinessman billionare that name vladimir  Orekhov to the googles representative will be finalize  and ,come out a best solution,and being a bitcoiners i hope that googles still continue to promote about the cryptocurrency system,so that its will continue to become famous all over the world,and my great support  to Mr.Orekhov about this heroic he done,for the goodness of digital currency system.

It's really more like a joke. It is clear that he will not achieve anything in court, and Google will not change its decision either.

I feel that soon will be news about the fact that the businessman has lost a court with Google, you'll see it will.

Yeah it's Google, like come on. ;D No way will some russian businessman affect them in any way.

It is completely doesn't make any sense to sue Google and apparently he will lose this game, at the same time it is essential to show Google that all crypto community is against forbidding advertisement in Google. Maybe this giant corporation will change the rules regarding adv, as long as this is solid pie for their revenue, ICO traffic is growing and this is silly to cut a way of income.

Moreover, after this ban all ICOs will lost their potential clients and can easily follow this businessman to sue Google.

Don't think anything will come out of this but I'm interested to see how the lawsuit will go like. If it'll make it to court even or what. ;D

I doubt that this businessman can be succeed. Google is a very popular corporation and I'm sure that they have not violated the law. The businessman has not received direct damage, so there is no crime. It is difficult to prove whether there was a lost profit or it was a businessman's dreams.

I don't think the man will be successful in this story. He just waists his time. Google definitely will win the fight.

I think a businessman got into money, there are lawyers already who have repeatedly won the courts. Therefore, undermining and changing their actions will be extremely difficult, if they certainly do not make concessions. Yes, and I think they will take into account the views of the majority, so a one-sided affair.

I would like to see how it ends. in the Russian law there is even no definition of crypto currencies, the more there are no precedents for such cases. I do not think that in such circumstances the court can make a reasonable decision.

Something I doubt that google pay him even a penny. Now most people who have anything to do with crypto-currencies will lose a lot. And the more so that in Russia the crypto currency has no legal justification, then it will be difficult for him to fight legally with Google.

I think the only reason for this move is to advertise himself, because it is clear that no court will give him reason.
But the idea of suing Google for this reason is really funny :)

Russians are people who know how to defend their rights, even if in this case the reason seems a little risky. But if he can get something, congratulations!

thats lovely.. you can't stop technology its a moving train so is crypto.

that guy is small fish... seems like google stays in the way of some greedy people with the ban. i think lot's of exchanges will follow with the lawsuits and probably some more people but watch out for the big players.

nice to see this kind of news. Using duck go in the last couple of weeks as some kind of protest against the google politics. Seems like the overall market sentiment is turning against google.

It is not about the money, it is about PR. Do you guys know many people who claimed against Facebook in courts? i don’t. So mr. Orekhov will earn more after he loses at court.

Its funny due to ICOs are forbidden in China and they file suit to allow ICO promotions... Anyway, this alliance will lose but I hope that Google, Twitter or Facebook will decide to roll back after all this hype around.

The Orekhov's crypto terminal project is not started yet. It will be a network of ATMs in which it will be possible to exchange the usual money for cryptocurrency. Good idea! But I don't think that Orekhov will be succesful in his trial with Google.

I think social media advertising of ICO doesn't have any problem, even if it prosecute these social media, so I think it's the ultimate result is still failed, I don't think it can succeed.

True that, it's always about some profit. That Orekhov guy gonna become recognizable around local businessmen and that is a good tool

Nothing good is going to happen out of it. Every factor including the government is implicitly against him. Look at most of the crypto currency advertisements, filled with ICOs. Most of them are just pure scam and people easily fall for. Its not possible for google to pick the legit ones form the fake ones. So all they could do is just ban it. The court might favor on behalf of google.

Let's try, why not.  ;D But who is the Vladimir Orekhov and who is the Google. The powers are not the same. But that situations are needed for legalization of cryptocommunity.

I do not think it's Google's fault. Facebook was forced to ban ICO advertising under the pressure of the US authorities. I think the same situation is with Google, Twitter and other services, which implemented a ban. So, it remains for us to wait until the US government stops fighting with cryptocurrencies.

Orechov is a great guy. If he will succeed I will be very glad, really. But at the same time there are a lot of doubts about his success in trial against Google. We will see what result will be.
Maybe somebody know results?
