Are not them (google, facebook, twitter) encroaching on the right of freedom of people by depriving them access to what they want and what they want to do---to blockchain technology and cruptocurrency world? What do you thing? Very nonsense things, or fraud activities are still finding their ways to these social networking sites. What about these things?

And in case of blockchain technology or its part cryptocurrency, are these things fake? 
Mobile network operators in the world are losing a large amount of money charged for using their service due to other social networking sites like Facebook., Whatsapp, IMO, Viber. Why not closing these sites just because they are losing money due to them?

The main problem isnt the cryptocurrency itself,those people who are using the technology to scam people that is the main problem why these social media giants are protecting the common users to these potential scams.You wont be suprised when all of the social media platforms will ban cryptocurrencies just like what main stream media does.

They just banned encryption advertising money market, because at present there are many fraudulent ICO project, and various countries for the attitude of the ICO is not optimistic, so by the policy factor, they have to ban advertising.

I am positive with this!,the main problem are those people who are using cryptocurrencies to scam investors,google and facebook just wanted to protect the public with these scams,because they know people are dumb enough to invest without checking any details about these ICOs that is why most of the people are getting banned,facebook and google has the most biggest advertising platform that is why they need to do something about these scams.

If you believe your freedom is being snatched away from all these social media sites, then you should do your part not to support them. All of these media giants like Facebook and Google have been eroding the open source nature of the internet for many years. Choose open source platforms, do not make these corporate giants stronger. Ignore them. Exercise your freedoms. Use TOR. Use Bitcoin. Use Bitcointalk. Bypass every block. They cannot take away your freedoms no matter how hard they tried.

No,they only restricted those ICOs from their paid advertising and it doesnt mean that people who will posts cryptocurrency related topics in their platform will get banned,read their terms and conditions so you will know that normal users will still be able to share,link,and like any cryptocurrencies promotional links in facebokk and in google,and you wont get banned doing that.

I think this is nothing unusual, considering there is a lot of scam especially in ICOs. In many countries, advertising of casinos as well as forex trading and some other financial products is strictly regulated. ICOs and cryptos fall into similar category, so it's not a surprise.

Google and Facebook are just doing their job,protecting those young people from these potential scams,and those people who are dumb and stupid that will invest with these projects even its obvious and looks like a scam from the start.There will always be fool people who will get baited by these scam projects so to lessen those victims google and facebook banned those ICOs from using their advertising platforms.

Not going to happen because google and facebook still allowed normal users to promote these ICOs using their platform,facebook users are still allowed to promote ICO using their personal profiles but it must be on their own will,google still allowed websites and blogs using their platform to promote these ICO and cryptocurrency related topics, how these two did snatch your freedom ???

Hahaha, what a ludicrous suggestion. Banning ads has no connection to personal freedom, only some product, which taking their strength and scope into account, i doubt has been a whimsical move or decision. Trying to remain within the boundaries of security, maintaining personal freedom, and taking care of the interests of their users and members, is a responsibility upheld by all of them.

The answer is no as a company they need to protect their users against scam ICO also they have the right to show what ever ads they want to show on their websites. If people really want to learn about crypto currency or block chain they are still free to do so.

For closing this sites well they do not have the legal right to do so. Also that is technology still websites and apps will not work without the internet provider and vice versa why would you connect if there are no use for it.

You want freedom from seeing ICO but you want this site/apps to be closed my mobile provider. What an ironic idea.

Yes, they are really afraid of the retribution from the state organizations, therefore, they restricted access to information about crypto currencies.

It is entirely their choice how and what they decide to push to the users, if they want to remove advertising for crypto ICOs or any other crypto related product it is up to them.

I don't agree with it myself as people should be able to make up their own mind.

They only  ban paid advertising they don't ban if you post a content about ICO or cryptocurrency. They just want to protect the mass users from scam ICO and it is a good thing because you will see the difference between a good and a bad ICO.

They just want to protect those who are scammed, forbidding the ad one way to reduce the scam.

Its not Google or facebook who are banning crytpos but the FBI who is forcing them to do so. Why would they ban something that the new generation is actively involved in. And something that looks to have a great future. Plus it is good for the crypto market as it will prevent newbies from getting scammed.
