Is it true that facebook is banning all advertisements for cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin ? but why?

Facebook said it will block all ads on its platform that involve digitally encrypted currency, including bitcoin, in an effort to discourage advertisers from promoting ads that the company calls "financial products and services often associated with misleading and deceptive promotion" .

Facebook will work to understand which ads are deceptive or misleading, and gradually promote the policy. Facebook, including its other platforms, including Instagram, will not allow ads like "buy bitcoins with your retirement fund!"

Obviously! It is true Facebook is officially announced in the website. I think many companies are promoting the Facebook via but they don't spend any investment in social medias so Facebook should regulate the advertisement. It is draw back of Facebook campaign and many promotors are affected in this news. This is actual status in the crypto market.

facebook prohibits ads for crypto currency including bitcoin because more and more ICO who do fraud, therefore facebook prohibits advertising all digital currency

I have read a post about it in coindesk.com. It says "Social media giant Facebook has unveiled a new policy that bans advertisements involving bitcoin and initial coin offerings, among others."  The news link is (https://www.coindesk.com/facebook-banning-advertisements-bitcoin-icos/)

hi,Buddies

i think

i agree with facebook , honestly it adv very distrubing while you browser on facebook

I believe this is a attempt to dishonest the whole crypto currency that is taking over the different platforms. Mr. Mark seems to be jealous (I think) and do not like the idea of decentralised platform really.

Lately there has been launch of many social platforms which are based on the decentralised block chain but Facebook never liked the idea of it as its killing the market of the Facebook with the full fledge.

There is social, nexus and many more platforms which are crowdfunding based along with he premium services of crypto based tokens. Im sure they are getting feel for that and doing this all to protect the monopoly of Facebook.

i think that's not true because i advertise some ico today and it will works so that is only a fake news to destroy crypto currency including bitcoin.

Really? they are banning all advertisements regarding to cryptocurrencies yet they are planning to create their own cryptocurrency?

Although the advantage of this is to lessen the scam ICO from getting investors. As well as stop promoting HYIP programs. But this would be sad for those who have legit projects which gain support from facebook users.

I just hope they would get a better result for this.

It should be noted that all the sponsored links they will be considered in the course of the day. It is possible that soon there will be bot that will delete messages with certain words and hashtags. So don't be surprised when your reposts will not be available for viewing, and you will receive a message that your record has been deleted because it was spam.

ohh thats why I dont see some bitcoin post in my fb account now..I think this is a bad Idea for us because facebook is used by many, this is the site having the largest numbers of netizens. Facebook can help a lot in promoting bitcoins to be known by many. There were many scammers in facebook and they use both facebook and bitcoin to scam but there were also some ads on facebook regarding bitcoins that can help us. I found this news soo sad.

Yes, it's true:

https://www.coindesk.com/facebook-banning-advertisements-bitcoin-icos/

"Social media giant Facebook has unveiled a new policy that bans advertisements involving bitcoin and initial coin offerings, among others"

And the reason is here:

"This policy is intentionally broad while we work to better detect deceptive and misleading advertising practices, and enforcement will begin to ramp up across our platforms including Facebook, Audience Network and Instagram," he wrote. "We will revisit this policy and how we enforce it as our signals improve."

This maybe the reason BTC dip today below 10k$.

According to facebook, they are just trying to protect their users,  because of too many ICO and there's no clear regulation about upcoming ICO.
more details: https://www.ccn.com/facebook-takes-aim-at-icos-cryptocurrencies-in-new-ad-guidelines/

Do you think it's temporary or permanent?

Yes but I think bitcoin is trying to protect his user from those scam user with fake ICO

This is the news link is (https://www.coindesk.com/facebook-banning-advertisements-bitcoin-icos/)

"We want people to continue to discover and learn about new products and services through Facebook ads without fear of scams or deception. That said, there are many companies who are advertising binary options, ICOs and cryptocurrencies that are not currently operating in good faith." - Rob Leathern Facebook's Product Management Director.

This will really affect those who are in Facebook campaigns but its their way to protect their users. I really hope its just temporary.  :'(

I think that because of the uncertainty in too many ICOs and the existence of deceptive ingredients, Facebook has decided not to promote it at all, but it does not exclude Facebook's own intention to launch its own cryptocurrency.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they were going to put out there iwn cryptocurrency. But then it could be part of a wider plan - a lot of FUD out there right now, this guy is adding to it. Its not like they care or have morals when it comes to advertising money, remember the russian bots and all fake news stories from estonia - they never pulled them cause there were creating traffic. Lets see

I agree with facebook, too many dumb people on facebook that invest their money on rumours and without understanding the technology behind blockchain.

Protect uninformed people from losing money.

On January 31 in 2018
Facebook has banned ads that promote bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in an effort to protect its users from “financial products and services frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices."

is this information true and reliable? if true, I did not believet the owner facebook changed with fast, a few days ago mark wanted to learn crypto, but now he ban bitcoin and crypto advertising in facebook. what does he want? does he want the crushed crypto world? anybody please answer ! i am not understand with this condition !

It is true.  BuzzFeed News highlighted how some of these Facebook ads were peddled bitcoin-related disinformation and fake news touting cryptocurrency services and initial coin offerings (ICOs). "We want people to continue to discover and learn about new products and services through Facebook ads without fear of scams or deception," Robert Leathern, a Facebook product management director, said in a blog post company. "That said, there are many companies that are advertising binary options, ICOs and cryptocurrencies that are not currently operating in good faith.

Yes its true and i think the reasons was as they described it from this post. They need to work better to detect deceptive and misleading advertising practices, because there are lots of scamming ICOs and not to mention the falling behind ponzi ICOs Bitconnect which advertised everywhere. But i dont think its permanent as they say that they will revisit the policy, since they only wanted to protect their customer trust to what advertisement that has been spamming all the facebook wall.

Yes, not only bitcoin but all crypto currency. It was officially announce by them. I am pretty sure this will have a huge negativw impact on the market. I think what they should do is sperate scam  ads to the legit ones. On how they will do that i do not but they are a huge company and surely they can come up with some idea on hw to do it.

Facebook is a worst social media site, really hate it. And now they are doing this. I will delete my page, because it's gone so far.

Yes, true
but it does not seem to be permanent still reviewing the rules according to the dynamics

Seems not really block the whole thing but those advertisement only. You can still post but you cannot lure investors. Maybe Facebook will just to unload and reduce traffic on their system.

just to make it clear facebook now doesnt allow any promotional post regarding any digital crypto...so its just the advertisement of bitcoins and other ico.to avoid further scamming issues and those ponzi schemes.this will surely have begative impact.well we will all see what will gonna happen next.

Facebook simply wants to identify which ICO projects are fraudulent, so pushing the ads could face users' complaints.
And the regulatory policies of ICO are being implemented, and Facebook doesn't want to face the law.

Can someone make it clear for me. I have read a thread a while ago saying that the only ads thay will be ban are the paid ads and not the ads coming from the post of the ICO from their page. Can anybody make this clear for me. Is it the paid ads only that will be ban or even the shared posts (Facebook Campaign)??

I think Its not true because almost everyday minute  when i open my Facebook there so many advertising there in any kind of Crypto. If it is true why some other bounties have really connect for facebook and other site like tweeter and and Instagram, so all of that information was fake! and really not true  

Facebook implements a new policy that prohibits advertising about digital currency aka cryptocurrency appear on its social network. That is, no more ads that promote the use of bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, and the like that circulated on Facebook.

According to Facebook, cryptocurrency is nothing more than a financial product associated with misleading promotional practices. So, if allowed to advertise on its platform, Facebook means to share the things that are not true

Wow what FUD  ;D Well, I guess if you have nothing real to say you just make things up. It's a very different thing to band ads of specific nature than Bitcoin in any sense of it. OP should really alter the title because now it's highly misleading.

I do not think Mark did announce that. Or maybe, facebook is trying to lower the prices as well so that they can buy at a low price?

If Facebook is going this route, then its they must have thought it through as a lot of people have used that avenue to scam people out of their resources. I have seen ads on Facebook, and I just know this is a scam adverts but what of people who don't know. A lot of Ponzi scheme is being advertised there with even a Facebook page to deceive people. The fall out from this will just be the ones that would be affected and the dent its causing to the image of bitcoin generally.

Facebook and instagram prohibit advertising of cryptocurrency and ICO. Facebook removes posts with advertising ICO.
As Bitcoin.com notes, Its users tend to be less sophisticated than those who frequent other social networks, and are easy prey for scammers, charlatans, and snake oil salesmen.

Ouch... I think that removing ads for a digitla good from a digital platform could hurt more than the usual rumors we see.
Earlier this year Zuckerberg said about crypto currencies that they 'take power from centralised systems and put it back into people's hands'.
When you look at it from the perspective of facebook, then they pass on the money they could earn through those advertisements.
That throws not a very shiny light on crypto.

I agree with this. Facebook is still showing ads about cryptocurrencies and other tips about trading and investing. It's a good source for bounty hunters or crypto hunter to find ICOs. Facebook will not ban it, why? Because they're earning because of it and it is the biggest news in the world.

It seems facebook avoiding people to get a fraud ico. And still something like that is HYIP so they dont want something like that to easy people to join

This is another plot to bring cryptocurrency down but I know there is away out for us in crypto community.

i dont want to believe that. if so i will ban facebook :)

There are many complaints from users who invested their money in ICO and lost all the money. Until there is clear legislation in this area, there will be various prohibitions.

This are the right words from it.

It happened lately where they were creating projects which really dont exist.
This people gets millions of dollars by just creating a fake team, whitepaper and just a website. All that with just a little capital but they will get ten fold afterwards.

Many people might have reported about this that is why Facebook already made the move.

Is there a Bitcoin Inc advertising for bitcoin then ?  What are "advertisements for bitcoin" even meaning ?  Or do you mean scammy ICOs ?

no one knows why Facebook prohibits bitcoin, all very interesting)

I'm not that surprised. Facebook has been hit with many issues with its content lately. Most notably with "fake news" and the social media being used as propaganda. I think they're cutting off all possible liabilities and they might go back to their old style of post priorities right? The one where they would prioritize posts from friends and families rather than paid posts.

Few days back, I heard that Facebook was going to introduce its own crypto currency and definitely it was rather Mark Zuckerberg was impressed by the performance of bitcoin. It is another try to defame bitcoin. Nothing new. People have been doing this since the birth of digital gold. All those who have a good understanding of bitcoin will never ditch it by such fake news.

So now you can't post on facebook about bitcoin?

which I heard is like that. But unfortunately really if facebook prohibits crypto advertisement on facebook. I think if with the ad from crypto will increase the number of facebook users.

I guess it's not true. I still see ads in facebook regarding bitcoin. even in messenger I see those. If they really banned it they will not let ads regarding bitcoin be posted there. And also, why would they ban bitcoin? bitcoin is paying for their ads to be posted there. so they are both making money out of it.

It is true! But not only the ads for Bitcoin or ICO, but also for other types of ads will be banned slowly, according to what Mark says.

Yeah that right facebook have announcement that they are banned for promote bitcoin link in their social media, there are another social media allow the bitcoin procedure where banned bitcoin is instagram, keep patient is nothing to worried for bitcoinner, it just the joke and we can use the different way to promote bitcoin to the other people, we can use the unique way by using telegram social media to promote bitcoin to the other and the telegram media more better than by using facebook.

really? when did he said that? I am actually not very active in facebook these past few days but I'm active in messenger.

I don't know for sure, until now I only see from the news posts in this forum. whatever it is, I am sure there is no great influence on crypto. because facebook only forbids ico advertisements that have potentially fraudulent misuse. I don't know the bitcoin is included in the ban. so far the only news for on ico sales ads.

If facebook ban cryptocurrencies advertisement, will it affect bounty campaigns on facebook? Will they be banned too?

Why facebook is banning bitcoin?

I am sure that the facebook company is considerate. Bitcoin will not be ban so easily. I am so sure that they will ban advertisements that is not necessary or not usefull for the viewers or ads that promotes nonsense for example,  join the ICO and sell your house for investment. They will sure ban ads like that but not all ads that promotes the crypto currency. Anyway facebook are earning because of the advertisements that they promote. If they will ban all advertisement they where they will get there funds? Facebook will just review all the ads.

Yes it's true, they ban ads related to crypto, but I could not understand the exact reason, maybe there are some problems related to legal issues, as Facebook is used in all over the world. But it is just my suggestion.

yes. they will ban everything that is related to cryptocurrency and/or bitcoin because they believe that those ads promote scamming. yes, there are many scam ICOs but facebook here, generally considered scam even those ICOs with good vision. those ads, according to them, were misleading and deceptive that's why they ought to make a move to keep those ICOs from scamming people.

i take this is a bad news.

Yeah its true i think but it will not happen instantly it may take a couple of weeks or month to get vanished,mark zuckerberg is earning alot from this cyrptocurrency ads he is putting on facebook.There is still a 50/50 chance that mark will not ban it cause of huge part of income will be gone

All those restrictions all over the world and now Facebook new policy seems like worldwide campaign against crypto, it is way to decrease price artificially :/

I never came across a news stating that facebook banning btc advertisements maybe because i am not an active user of facebook. I think it is a fake news as btc is not doing something which is against the law moreover i inquired with my friends who are working with facebook and they said that they never came across such information and they said its a fake news spreading around . Infact  facebook always promote ads as it also help them generate revenue paid advertisements is providing them income and  they always promote such things and it is never going to get banned.

a lot of facebook articles will ban ads about bitcoin, maybe facebook owner wants to get shares from the advertisement or want facebook far from scam, because many just spam bitcoin posting on facebook, but i do not know for sure, i just thought from my analysis why out article like that

I still see a lot of ads in Facebook. I don't see Facebook banning all the cryptocurrency advertisements, because once they do that, they have to ban all sorts of advertisements as well, because it would be unfair. Also, the way I see it, as long as Facebook still earns from it, they wouldn't stop or ban it.

I heard facebook is studying cryptocurrency and possibly also facebook want to make digital currency or own facebook coin that is similar to cryptocurrency, I personally still not so know what happened with facebook but some ICO still exist in facebook.

facebook ban btc. because they protect their user rights. Many individuals and organizations have taken advantage of facebook to engage in investment projects ico token unknown origin. I think facebook they are doing right.

I don't think it's a smart thing to do.

Everyone is finding ways and means to embrace the crypto era in one way or another.

so it will not be prudent completely block crypto ads.

I think its a lazy approach on the side of facebook.

they should rather find a better approach to sieve out the good ads from the scummy ads.

Yeah its true, I've seen a news about this issue in my UC Browser's news section. Facebook really prohibited bitcoin, ICO's and other crypto currency advertisements. Facebook will no longer accepts an advertisement from any cryptocurrency. Maybe thats why I have received a message from Facebook the other day saying that my shared post(which is a advertisement of an ICO) Is considered as a spam or something. Maybe its because they banned crypto. This is a bad news for Facebook campaigns participants.

Also if anyone want to know exactly why Facebook banned crypto or you just dont believe it. Prove it to your self that its true. I already prepared the link to a news about this issue. https://www.google.com.ph/amp/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2018/1/30/16951670/facebook-cryptocurrency-bitcoin-ico-deceptive-marketing-ban

Yes, facebook official has identified, they are to protect the interests of investors, because there are fake advertisements on digital currency, there are some facebook bounty activities spread fraud, damage the interests of investors, so they want to prohibit the False digital currency advertising and information.

i've heard the news that mark zuckerberg (CEO of facebook) started to learning bitcoin and want to add cryptopayment into facebook, but now the news said facebook bans crytpto. and i'm still seeing an ICO or crypto ads in my facebook timeline, almost all of them is crypto in my timeline (maybe because of my recent activity). So i think this news is not true, maybe just some FUD to make bitcoin price go down

If you are involved with crypto industry at least for previous 6 to 10 months and if you are a Facebook user too then you must have noticed the high number of ICO ads in your news feed. It was shown to my friends who have interest in Bitcoin but they don't have any idea about the same. Now, a couple of them actually invested in one ICO believing in growth promised to them in the ad and later that ICO turned out as a scam and they lost their investment. To avoid scammers from using FB business platform, FB decided to ban crypto ads. However, I am expecting moderated/rectified policy from them soon.

I experienced this, i was joining crypto groups and then suddenly facebook asked for my photo for a verification security, obviously i did not upload it, its like facebook is making their own database creepy.

Sorry, Bro but I think your speculations are not true. If you only search the net you will find a lot of news about the subject. Let me quote one from CNBC.com...


So, there's no total ads ban because you can still see ads about crypto on Facebook. They only prohibit those ads that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices.

I read an article that facebook banned bitcoin, ICO's and other crypto currencies advertisements but I still can see the advertisements of crypto currencies in my messenger. One of the reasons of facebook why did they banned it is to protect the identity of other user and to avoid being scammed and “frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices”. To know more about this topic, click the link below.
Link for the article about bitcoin banned in facebook: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jan/31/facebook-bans-ads-cryptocurrencies-scams

They are just trying to create panic among people for their gain.

Facebook is scared of unregulated tech. THey want to be in control of everything, and crypto means no control.

facebook forbid bitcoin.While they intend to create facebookcoin ??? an unhealthy competition

actually this news has been 2 weeks ago and it has passed. I think the effect of facebook prohibiting the circulating of crypto ads is not very influential on cryptocurrency market. actually the losers are facebook because they do not get benefit from existing crypto ads. so the question for me is facebook do not get any loss of crypto ads are present on their site, but why they banned crypto ads?

They did this because some alt coins and ICOs were misusing it for fooling people. Facebook does not want its users to get scammed with such offers.

Yes and they said they weren't going to support any crypto ad any more. Maybe this stemmed from the fact that the market crisis make them think the market is a bubble, but they have missed a major point. Crypto deals in trade just like the forex. It will be a regret later anyway.

So far i still have see a lot of coins ICO ads on my facebook maybe the news is not true about facebook ban all the crypro currency. Some of people are using facebook just to easy scam people in there investments scam.

Facebook is banned from the currency, then you will know that how much influence, the currency is not only Facebook prohibits the currency, a lot of big countries have banned the COINS, but in the long run COINS only just now in the primary stage of development.

Facebook prohibits advertising all digital currencies, including bitcoin.

There are some Facebook rewards activities that spread fraud and hurt investors.

I do not think this is true when my message board still shows up  ::)

I strongly agree with this one,

Yeah.It's True.Facebook Banned Crypto.

 ;) ;) These stories are false. Think of what you see with your eyes. You will be able to thoroughly verify it from others. Do not listen to others.  ;) ;)

Yes, but I don't think the ban holds anymore. There are still crypto shares on facebook.

As I read the news the other day they already going to undo the Ban on crypto related advertisement like in promoting crypto exchanges, Except for Inicial Coin Offering  (ICO) projects. This is the list of the following who unban the crypto ads.
1. Facebook
2. Twitter
3. Google

As of today July 04, 2018 the bitcoin ban and other cryptocurrency ads was lifted by facebook owner Mr. Mark. I think he will be joining the blockchain community very soon and possibly he will be creating altcoin of his company which is facebook. This will be huge if it will happen and also a great way for the rest of people to know more about it.

The reversal of the ban on cryptocurrencies is very good news for the community. As for the ban on promiting ICOs, considering that they may run afoul of SEC regulations and given the high level of fraud in this area, you can't blame Facebook for taking this position.

I think not, because until now this is still a lot of crypto currency advertising ads on facebook, what maybe it's just a hoax?

Facebook banned CRYPTO ads especially on Bitcoin but recently Facebook had decided to accept some ads with strict reviews either to be accepted or not. My opinion, I think Facebook will be working on it own CRYPTO project but we should wait for what the future hold for us.

Yes, Facebook created a new policy that prohibits ads that promote financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices, such as binary options, initial coin offerings, and cryptocurrency.

Yes i heard about it. FB created new policy for btc.

Definitely not a bad idea. People who think that bitcoin is illegal or a place where illegal activities can be done will decrease. Even when it is half true, it will avoid more scammers to join the industry. We could start enlightening people about bitcoin and how helpful it is.

According to the information I read and I can relate to the prohibition of cryptocurrency and bitcoin advertisements by Facebook, that the company initiated by Mark Zuckerberg believes that the content of these advertisements is related to fraudulent and misleading promotional practices. Perhaps because of things like that that caused Facebook to temporarily ban advertisements related to crypto currencies.

This is old news, Facebook used to have banned Cryptocurrency advertising. but recently, Facebook has revoked their ban on Cryptocurrency advertising. that's what I know.

as it turns out it was most likely the usual market manipulation to suppress such a rabid demand for bitcoin itself

Well,  we can not blame them or even Mark Zuckerberg because of that. We could only blame ourselves because we are responsable in our actions, and some of us used bitcoin as a tool to their millicious and illegal activities that  can cause a trouble to our community. As a Bitcoinist we should know the proper use of Bitcoin and how we can handle it. So, we need to do the right thing and as we can avoid this can of banned in other social media.

do not try to be media people, is it so hard to put correct title, i mean "facebook bans bitcoin ads".

I have not read about this matter further, but i ever read that the reason behind that banned is because of many facebook user get into the scam of bitcoin.

I run ads about crypto but facebook makes difficulty on me @@

If blocked by facebook, the project required share on facebook will no longer work anymore

This is the news that facebook released because that time,they are creating their own coin this mean they fu*ked up crypto community because of they're plan of having own currency and dont wanna advertise others than them.isn't it damn idea?lol

So many cyber thieves has thrived using Bitcoin as a front to scam people, I think that's what inspired that decision made by facebook altogether. However the ban was reversed late last month https://www.recode.net/2018/6/26/17505876/facebook-cryptocurrency-ads-bitcoin-ico-ban-reversed

Facebook says it will block ads, in an effort to prevent promoting the company's products that are made, and Facebook will be more accurate which is deceptive and true / original by gradual

Yes Facebook says it will block all advertisements on its platform involving encrypted digital currencies, including Bitcoin, in an effort to prevent advertisers from promoting advertisements that companies call. Because they protect their users' rights. Many individuals and organizations have used Facebook to be involved in the Ico Token investment project that is unknown.

The news was old and the present news is - all things related to facebook promotion are fine and going smoothly. There is no problem at all now.

I don't think that will happen, surely Facebook will also work wisely by choosing which platform adverts are misleading and which ones are actually true ads. this is where the wrong mindset just wants to get very lucky by cheating, different from a clear mindset like us who use Facebook to promote and advertise so that it gets a long-term profit. so they are the wrong mindset that must be destroyed.

It seems like they are blocking, but they have problems with popularity lately

Not anymore. As of June 26, 2018, Facebook is easing its ban – sort of – on ads related to cryptocurrency.

see link : https://www.coindesk.com/facebook-relaxes-ban-accepts-crypto-ads/

In my work, I did not find any problems. Every day I work in Facebook and publish a lot of posts about the crypto currency, but nobody banned me.

more and more people had been trapped by this scheme of some facebook user and we all know that more people are been used facebook had been catch some attention by then of some fake advertisement about bitcoin.

Really facebook bans bitcoin? where that news came from? I don't if that is good idea but i think that idea is for the sake of us to lessen the scammers out there but those who have true project it become sad, miserable, bleak which gain support from facebook users.

not for bitcoin, only for the display of crypto ico ads. Facebook banned crypto ad broadcasts that tend to be scams. but until now there are still many projects that advertise ico via Facebook.

That's not quite right, I still see the crypto ads on facebook. Advertising brings a huge profit for facebook, why are they ignoring?

I think that it will not affect its value ! And it is forbidden not bitcoin and advertising the entire industry but I think that they will not work as ICO and cryptography is already rapidly entering our daily life )

I thinks you heard only a fake news thats facebook is banning all advertisement for cryptocurrency,including bitcoin,because the truth until now,facebooks still advertise about cryptocurrency and some ICO project development,and one example of them thats i already seen are the wepower advertisement,actualy this link that you give to us, i've already seen this,but i believe all of this is hoax and no relevant.

I don't think so that it is true that facebook bans bitcoin or other cryptocurrency but may be it is possible no body know the actual truth wheather facebook bans bitcoin or any orher crypto currency or not.

It is true that facebook bans ads in all forms of cryptocurrency since it can lead in some misleading information and ideas. It can also a prevention for scammers that mostly uses social networking sites to have victims. A

wow  i  have heard right now about  banning from  facebook  but i can not make the connection why it should do such a thing???

I really don't know how true is this, but there is one thing for sure, it will really have a negative effect in the crypto space.

   I don't think so that this news is true because until now there is a lot of cryptocurrency advertisement in facebook including bitcoin. I can also advertise bitcoin. Maybe that is a false news just to destroy bitcoin.

Yes, it is true, it is true that the social networking site Facebook banned any bitcoin advertisements. Maybe sooner they will make a program or a bot that will delete messages or posts that contains any of the keywords with regards to bitcoin. I do not know the real reason behind it. Maybe he do not really favored the idea of a decentralized currency. What I am certain of is that it will definitely affect bitcoin. It will decrease the value of bitcoin because it will demote bitcoin. Knew example is in bounty campaigns where there is a social media campaign where we use Facebook and if that happens we cannot do it anymore.

Facebook started to block all advertising virtual currency, including Bitcoin, iCOs and the like. This is a section in the policy against the marketing scams on the social networking platform.

Yeah is true but that's is now resolve and facebook accept again cryptocurrency to advertise in their page and face create theri own cryptocurrency coins, forget it just move on for the old news.

Facebook official statement will ban all advertising related to Bitcoin, crypto currency and capital activities ICO. Efforts of Facebook to prevent phishing scams on the market cryptocurrency today, especially ICO.

Yes it is true and the news is now stale. However, bitcoin is waxing stronger and better by the day inspite of the negative publicity and rebuttals it has received!

That's not true. In an interview, the head of Facebook said that bitcoin is the most progressive development in the field of digital technologies and that Facebook fully supports and plans to cooperate with bitcoin.

First, Facebook has banned crypto currency ads, but now Facebook has allowed crypto currency ads. If Facebook prohibits crypto currency advertising, Facebook will lose a large portion of its income. This is because most Facebook users are crypto currency players so that if Facebook does not become a crypto currency partner, Facebook will be quiet.

hopefully bitcoin is getting stronger and many people believe in bitcoin. because I'm a little worried about the current market conditions, every month has decreased, and that is one of the disadvantages especially for investors and traders .

as far as I know, Facebook and Twitter are blocking ICO advertising as there is a lot of fraud in this area.

Yeah it is true Facebook is prohibiting posting of some crypto related ads, maybe they are banning some of its because of spamming, maybe we just post atleast thrice in a day so that facebook will not ban us.

As far as i know, Facebook reversed its ban on cryptocurrency-related ads, though advertisers will have to be pre-approved and ICOs will still be banned.

Exactly! The title got me a bit baffled and lost, ads are not a big problem. Ads are banned for numerous reasons so its not a big deal. The topic title is way off and its giving people unneeded scares!

In some ICO projects, it is still heavily advertised on facebook and I think the prohibition is not entirely effective. The Crypto market probably had a lot of influence on Facebook or Mark did not want to see the existence of Crypto. Because it has made facebook sales go down. That's my personal opinion.

In the past 2 months the ban had been reviewed and relaxed, It is just the ICO campaign that could have a struggle because of the level of scam perpetrated by the project teams. I understand that the social media is trying to protect themselves and investors. In a space with over 80% scam allegation, it is difficult for such media not to be concerned, and a lot of money is moved now on this space.

Well, this isn't a heap crypto can cross. It has crossed bigger than these kinds of challenges. The fact is that soon, Facebook will have to go decentralised otherwise several of these upcoming social media building up on the blockchain technology will collapse Facebook.

Social Media I think is one of the campaign bitcoin users are relying to. It is very important because Facebook has became the most popular way of communication in the modern world. Through it, we can connect and communicate as easy as breathing air. I hope they won't banned cryptocurrency ads because it is the first thing that I looked for in a bounty and it is easy for some. And if they banned it, just how are we going to look at the campaigns if they won't allow Facebook anymore.

I really don't get and reliable news about this matter and also the campaign are still running including facebook campaign then how could it possible.

They banned bitcoin related Ads. In the past, you could see bitcoin's images on fb, but not anymore. Even Google has banned bitcoin Ads. Added to that, I think you can post a topic about bitcoin and it will not get deleted. It is just for the Ads. And that does not make any sense. If you ban something, then you must ban anything related to it. The struggle that bitcoin is facing is beyond any expectation. They claim to have a freedom of speech, then they ban bitcoin. Logic!

I dont think so but i dont want to ban bitcoin in facebook, because theres so many people are hated facebook because of that, and  facebook campaign then how could it possible, maybe they are banning some of its because of spamming.

No facebook isn't banning all advertisements for cryptocurrency because i see the partage of airdrops  in many profile and pages facebook in this time without any problem

Yes,Facebook has banned it all, including Bitcoin and ICOs. I think all advertising for cryptocurrencies because they are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices.However, the policy applies not just to Facebook itself, but also to adverts on Instagram and to external websites that are part of Facebook’s.

If ever that this is true then its sad for bitcoin. Why? Facebook helps bitcoin , because the number of bitcoin user is increasing in every advertisement of facebook. Im hoping that this will not affect bitcoin that much, and because of this bitcoin will be more stronger than ever.

I think The reason Facebook have banned these ads is because there were a large number of scam ICOs, pump and dump groups, and other nefarious schemes using their advertising to profit, which is harmful to the blockchain ecosystem as well as these social platforms. I believe Facebook made a huge mistakes.

Maybe stop bumping old threads and reacting to old news...jeez.

I think its because to advertisement because the scammers are scattered and the people who have a legit projects get sad and disappointing because the project that they did think its fake because of scammers because facebook is a site having the largest numbers of netizen and can help lot of promoting bitcoins to be known by many.

Yes,Facebook has banned cryptocurrencies ads on their platform because as per them it violates their content marketing policies.Facebook is an attempt in order to protect the integrity of its advertising platform and also to provide an assurance and satisfaction to the users, that the platform they are relying on is completely safe to depend on and will never put them in difficult situations. We hoping that this will not affect to cryptocurreny.

facebook ads makes their profit increase so same for the crypto ads in facebook.I think facebook didnt banned these so called crypto ads but rather regulate these ads.Facebook may provide some restrictions for creating advertising ads inclusively for cryptocurrencies.

We want people to continue to discover and learn about new product and services through Facebook ads without fear of scams or deception, wrote rob leathern , product management director for facebook business and there's many companies who are advertising binary option, ICOs and crypto-currencies that are not currently operating in good faith

i read that rumors too in some articles said that bitcoin is banned bitcoin and cryptocurrencies ads, but in another article, I read about the facebook that they want to make their own cryptocurrencies but they banned all bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, lol

I think FB has the authority to limit bitcoin ads on its site.
I hope that this is not too long, FB should also realize that FB also uses electronic and internet to be able to draw. It should be able to be used for trading with bitcoin fees, the more days the bitcoin community is increasing as well as Facebook will not be left behind by its community.

For what ? Why banned? Bitcoin is a lot of supporters and investors should probably reduce the use of facebook today? Be sure to confirm this as soon as possible

This is the first time I heard about this, maybe for some reason that made facebook to ban the bitcoin and sure enough that has a huge impact on facebook.

Facebook said it will block all ads on its platform that involve digitally encrypted currency

Facebook have long reversed this ban decision and it is therefore no longer an issue.

Facebook campaign is great part of ICO. Lot of campaign are ruining in Facebook campaign and also coming lot of. So it think Facebook dose not ban bitcoin. Google also publish same kind of news but they remove it. I think Facebook also no problem in cryptocurrency.

maybe it's just a new discourse because there's no news and like you, I've also never heard of it, but we see maybe someone will be able to provide a link about this.

Heads up, Facebook will now be reversing its ban against crypto ads, however they do not have their plans on making all crypto ads available, so this time they'll be very pick on the ICOs that will be advertising through FACEBOOK, and it is a good idea since some ICOs are really just useless and just shows meaningless advertisements on the social media platforms, so I think it is a good idea for Facebook to become very decisive.


Here's the link of whoever want to know more about it: www.recode.net/2018/6/26/17505876/facebook-cryptocurrency-ads-bitcoin-ico-ban-reversed

This is old news though but when they initially banned it then i said they will retracted it which i believe it can be done now as people still using facebook to promote crypto.

indeed we do not know fully whether Facebook really prohibits bitcoin. but every time I open Facebook there is no crypto or ico advertisement. Facebook prohibits bitcoin from being afraid of fraud. because a lot of ico ico ended in fraud .

I think Facebook has its own rules to protect users from digital money fraud or cryptocurrency. because not all Facebook users, especially those who advertise a coin, are deceiving. then Facebook must be more observant in deciding the ban.

I think this is part of the policy against fraudsters and also facebook is developing its own virtual currency.

Facebook ban bitcoins ads because of other users violate there rules actualy not only bitcoin they get ban even dome other ads because of consecutive posting in their timelines  that the main reason why they get banned.

Facebook is a waste social media site, i really hate it. because as per them it violates their content marketing policies. It will really have a negative effect in the crypto space.

yeah, i heard about and read this about the news that is spreading in facebook that they will ban bitcoins, even groups which supports bitcoins. but hey! as long as there are people using bitcoins. people can find ways hehehe

Well nothing new about that because it's last year since bitcoins was popular and now they ban it because it's cause flood or spam in the facebook and that's not good for other people who are not related into it. But I guess we have some websites or forum that accepts bitcoins and other crypto currencies for advertisement just like this and etc.

If it's a true new than it's not a good news thats Facebook bans bitcoin their are alot of media medium who supports it but this type of news descourage and making down also popularity of Facebook.

news on the ban on bitcoin in social media makes bitcoin and Altcoin prices go down. at the moment we have seen that bitcoin and Altcoin are getting cheaper. everyone is worried about the state of bitcoin and Altcoin in the market because they are afraid of losing more if the price of bitcoin and Altcoin cheaper.
and i dont know about the news of  banning cryptocurrency in facebook 

So I think, blockchain technology will continue to grow in the future so expect social media to be created to compete with Facebook, no need to worry about Facebook

The updated policy and prohibiting the advertisement of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies on the facebook social media is only a step to limit or eradicate deceptive and elusive adverts on the platform. It has no personal bias against cryptocurrency nor bitcoin. So it's quite understandable what they are trying to do. But basically, i think the idea and bright innovation of bitcoin isn't a thing to worry about. It has been proven over and over again that blockchain, if traded in the right manner and caution, will become the new thing in the economy boost, so let's just enjoy and welcome the new thing as it makes its way into the space.

Well, this is not ideal but at the same time is not the worst news that could have happened. Facebook is not much of a player in this game which is why I think fb banning won't mount to much. What do you lot think?

Good riddance, many times those ads were dishonest and frauds.

Honestly id like to see them come back but regulated.

I think that social companies play an important role in the development of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. Facebook is one of the world's leading messengers.
by user communication. I think soon they are allowed to publish articles and information about Bitcoin, for its rapid dissemination.

But why facebook announced planning to explore in crypto currency platform? and i see still facebook promoting crypto advertisement.
Scam project easily promotion by facebook platform think of negative side.

I think that the cooperation between them must be present, as Facebook international social network with millions of users. This type of cooperation will speed up the process of learning and advertising bitcoin, which will increase the number of interested people.

I do not think that all of these ads will be deleted by Facebook, because there are several advertisements that lead to fraud, there are some non-fraudulent advertisements, depending on permission requests from Facebook.

This is bad news. Facebook banning bitcoin will make the electronic money market more difficult. Coin prices will fall. Many investors do not buy and store coins.

Actually, more to your point, Facebook has more than millions of users.

Specifically, it has 2.2 BILLION monthly active users.

Source:  https://www.statista.com/statistics/264810/number-of-monthly-active-facebook-users-worldwide/

It's crazy to think that a large part of the world's population uses a social media platform, but Facebook certainly is a global factor that is more than just a company with millions of users.

This is already concluded in which Facebook including Twitter will ban only those ICOs that will not past their criteria to ensure that the ICOs projects are not scam and of course one of the criteria is they need to pay for advertising or using their sites to promote their projects. Existing Altcoins are not included in the ban as long as they will pay the advertising services too so business as usual.

prevent many frauds circulating about crypto, ico etc. many people. which filter is original and deceptive. the goal is to reduce fraud in the name of bitcoin

i think this is a bad new. do you think this new make the market still in challenge?

It seems like it has a scam, because from last year I got 2 news, one of which was the revocation and banned advertising on digital and the second developed.

but the reason is because of licensing and security only

Actualy,many times i already heard about this kind of news feed,that facebook wants to banning all advertisement about all in cryptocurrency,but until now crypto advertisement is still there going advertise and forward,therefore i could conclude thats everythings thats is nothing true and its only a pulse alarm,otherwise the main purpose of facebook that they want to implement ban in crypto because they want payments in every project advertisement coming from crypto.

I have heard about such things about facebook and even google banning the advertisements for any of the Initial Coin Offering. I don't think it has implemented that because we can see a lot of projects which do go for facebook promotion and also they do get a lot of users for promoting them on facebook and all other mediums.

Yes in some cases facebook banned bitcoin becasue as far as I know there are people who are spamming in facebook. So in that case, when other people browse on facebook they can only post of their friends which is about bitcoin. I don't know what are the other reasons but what I want to is this.

Hardly. Even at $ 200, few people want to buy - already once bought and then saw a couple of days later the rate of$50. Now the rate is kept only because the withdrawal from the gox in $ is impossible, so buy BTC and withdraw them.

How could Facebook ban bitcoin, because I see Facebook also has an interest                             against the existence of advertisements regarding crypto or bitcoin. More and more  Crypto or Bitcoin ads via Facebook, it will be more profitable for Facebook. So I'm sure that Facebook will never prohibit cryptocurrency or bitcoin, but it will probably regulate the use of these ads to be better and avoid misuse of these ads through Facebook.

Well, they say 80% of ICOs in 2017 were scams. It's no wonder FaceBook would have an opinion about that.

Absolutely true but Facebook banned of the ads ico promotion and investment promote. Actually we are known about banned factor because it's news we are getting huge days before.I know Facebook is the good media to promote platform, many false platform going to promote and they are always getting scam.so Bitcoin not banned but Facebook banned tarfic ads and website banner ads.

I think that is untrue news, and I am sure Facebook will not prohibit advertising about cryptocurrency or bitcoin. I see there is no reason for Facebook to ban it, because the advertisement in my opinion will not harm Facebook and even I see that the advertisement can be beneficial for Facebook.

No, I'm using my facebook to advertise some ICOs that I join. This ban has been abolished. So you can still use facebook to promote electronic money.

Through my follow-up to the subject
I think the ban is mainly for ICO
crypto as a whole is welcome
As long as there is a payment for each advertisement.

Well the reason of Facebook to banning the ads about cryptocurreny is because they want protect the people to some fraudrers and scammer on line. We all know that many people scam because of fraudrers in Facebook. And I think it's much better that Facebook is act about this.

FB blocks cryptocurrency ads, mainly because of the increasing number of ico scam ads

Since there are a rise in the number of ICO scams, Facebook is mainly protecting its users from these corrupted things. Though not all the pose may be intently for the scam, they just prepare to vanish it all to be fair.

Move on guys facebook has now certain policy for crypto ads and they reversed that rule.

(https://news.bitcoin.com/facebook-unbans-cryptocurrency-ads/)

facebook is the biggest social media that i know, if bitcoin is banned in bitcoin i think it will makes many changes for bitcoin and i think it will affect bitcoin price and popularity, but its okay because of this issues bitcoin will survive and be stronger than before

I have seen many Altcoins and ICOs advertisements that are still in the pages of Facebook and Twitter so i guess they did not really ban it that in fact FB and Twitter campaigns are much alive so i guess  that as long as you will pay their advertising services then they will not ban all Crypto currencies related advertisements. Business as usual then.

It is true, it is not a new news. Because it is already happened since moths ago, it is happened because many ICOs are using advertisements on Facebook, Twitter and also Google. But many of them are ICO which is scam. So, Facebook, Twitter and Google are decided to ban the ICO advertisement and anything related to cryptocurrency because they don't have a way to figure it out which on ICO that is scam and which one is not.

In my opinion, Facebook is not possible to ban bitcoin ads because Facebook does not have a strong reason to ban bitcoin ads. Facebook will not lose when we advertise bitcoin, so it doesn't matter if we use Facebook as a means to promote bitcoin to the public. Maybe by promoting bitcoin via Facebook, Facebook will add popularity in the eyes of the world.

Bitcoin is very sustainable crypto currency and this is not theoretical or hypothetical as bitcoin has proved its worth by making its existence since more than a decade, has gone through many ups and downs in this decade, has faced many obstacles and now has made tremendous progress but still there are haters of bitcoin as I heard the news that Facebook has banned the crypto ads on its page and then luckily I heard the second news that after banning crypto ads, the valuation of stocks of Facebook has also decreased so this clearly signifies that the era of bitcoin has been started.

i  really   did  not  heard  about  facebook  that  it is banning bitcoin  and   it  does  not  make  any  sense  why  it should do  such  a  thing  it  is  unreasonable.

I think fb will just be more secure about posting adds such as blockchain , bitcoin or any abojt crypto .. i think it for our security also we all know that social media has the highest risk especially for the scammers so it is better that fb will do such a thing to prevent it.

This is a great game. Speculation on the news. This is done in order to reduce the rate of Bitcoin and interest in it. Rest assured, in the winter of 2019, everyone will talk about Bitcoin again.

This is fake news that was some time ago, so suppose this is just ridiculous news that many people tell, even though there are some news about Facebook's ban, I know Facebook is still reporting and advertising bitcoin on social media, so there is no news like that..

Well I can't figure out why Facebook of all the other social media will choose to melt out such attack on bitcoin and the cryptocurrency entirely banning of crypto ads on Facebook is a very huge attack on bitcoin and at that the general public should be aware of the fact that Facebook as one of the most popular social media has no good intention for our financial freedom.

There was a lot of cryptocurrency advertising on Facebook. Therefore, Facebook banned fake accounts. Now everything is calm. Facebook does not ban accounts

This is due to the fact that Facebook uses a huge number of ICO campaigns to advertise its product. An attempt to limit people from advertising " illegal product"

The reasons that prompted the Facebook administration to take the path of countering cryptocurrency are simple. This market is flooded with various kinds of scams and while government agencies are trying to somehow regulate the crypto business, the owners of large search engines and, as we see, now also social networks, operate their own methods, the benefit of no one to ask and coordinate anything.

why and what is the reason for banning the Facebook Bitcoin advertisements ? only Bitcoin advertisement or all the crypto currency advertisement  are also deleting ??  
It should never happen because most of the people will see the news or advertisements of Bitcoin in facebook, twitter and other social media.....

Bitcoin was never banned ..bitcoin was never had advertisements.. why people call “bitcoin advertisement”??!  The lot of scam project were banned what they called ICO.. this ban is just good for Bitcoin in long term..

Facebook published in the news, it will prohibit the advertising of crypto-currencies, because of many scams. But You are right, as then people learn about cryptocurrency. Let's see how this issue will develop.

I do not know  this news is accurate or not, I've heard this for a long time, but I see that investors can still use their facebook to promote the ICO. So I think that facebook still allows the advertisement of electronic money.
