FB prohibits ICO advertisements !!!

[s2sallbygrace]

What do you think about it?

The link to the ann: https://www.facebook.com/business/news/new-ads-policy-improving-integrity-and-security-of-financial-product-and-services-ads.

I believe that the creation of FB groups/pages related to the ICOs is still been possible; so this is not so dangerous. Are you agree?

in a way this issue will also affect on promotional advertisement of any ICO, although there are still many preferences with regards to promoting ICO project. Facebook is one of the most influential social media in the internet, In my opinion banning cryptocurrency ads in Facebook is a big loss for any ICO.

I hope this does not affect the bounty campaign, where you want to participate in Facebook. Managers of such companies should make changes to the conditions as soon as possible

This is part of the global war against cryptocurrency, and a clear sign that traditional centers of power are scared.
Don't forget, the change that bitcoin will produce are more political than economic.
But you can't ban this kind of revolution, the only way would be to shut down the internet!
Btw, you can bet that in the next months we'll see a lot of other measures against crypto.

As of now, I still see some ICO/project advertisements on my Facebook. I also think that it could affect Facebook campaigns in which it can lead to shutdowns. But I think there will be any detrimental effect on the cryptocurrency world.

LOL says by a dev who scammed his investors from his shitty ICO.

I forgot last time when I logged in Facebook) I dont like it all there is to many negative news and politics there. And lots of my friends think the same. Waiting the time when decentralized platforms will replace it)

Facebook will be the one to lose out in this action. ICO will continue to thrive and their advertisements will continue in other social media. Twitter will stand to gain a lot from this move by facebook as ICO ads revenue will move to twitter.

I regret not buying twitter shares at $16 last year. It is now $26.. and with this move by facebook, i wont be surprise if twitter goes above $30.

It`s a very negative factor for all crypto industry at all and it`s a pity so much, cuz really ambitious and promisng projects can`t become popular through this line, such as ArcBlock (check their technical part and understand it`s workability). The most of investors are still in Twitter and here, but Fb is the top and should discover new ways of technology first of all.
But on the other hand, FB just want to start and promote their new token, and , firstly, decided to prohibit all competitors:)

Facebook clearly has a big impact on cryptocurrency markets.
There is a lack of a way to promote encrypted money markets and ICO, without new money entering the cryptocurrency market.
For bounty hunters, it may not be as friendly to their participation in the facebook bounty.

It doesnt even make sense,facebook is just protecting their audience from a possible scams which ICOs are known to do,read the terms and conditions of facebook and you will find that they will only restricted paid advertisement from these ICOs this means you can still post,share and link any cryptocurrency related posts in facebook,nothing to worry about.

I also heard the news but I just got an another ICO ad....maybe it is coming into effect in a few days.

I think that nothing bad happened. Facebook is not the only social network where you can advertise ICO. With such measures, they try to either protect users from fraud, or this pressure from the government.

and the victims of this prohibition already exist! Has anyone suffered from Mark's new policies?

As i am doing some face book campaigns and not facing any problem and all pages are working fine then there is no ban on ico advertisements as per my view.

[umar22pk]

It will be a great step by Facebook, they are going to banned all ads related ICO’S & crypto currency but Facebook not banned any page or group who is promoting ICO’S or crypto currency.
Picture is not clear that what Facebook want to do?
Might possible they want to make changings step by step.

[YajairaSN]

Even the largest social network in the world joined the team of cryptocurrency skeptics.
The administration of Facebook banned advertisements of crypto and binary options on its pages, since such transactions are often fraudulent.
Of course, it's easier to ban something than to settle!

[BayAgapito]

Facebook wont accept any ICO paid advertisement,but not going to banned those users who will share and post links with crypto-related/ICO topics this means you can still post as usual but if you want to get paid advertisement from them will surely refuse,as what SEC are doing they are only protecting their audience.

[cryptomeo]

That's right, only applies to paid ads. Anywhere, Facebook is losing the way as it failed to get newer crowd. Who young people still have FB account. Just another orchestrated fuds by mainstream media.

But some kind of regulations are imminent in the ICO sphere, which is actually a healthy for cryptocurrency.

[sourish]

How or why is this a troublesome fact! It is for our own benefit, saved from various scams, plus its just the ads that have been banned, not information sharing.

[Niflore]

Too many scams and thus the reason for this prohibition....
