Facebook and Instagram have banned advertising Bitcoin and ICO

[Taugami]

It turns out that they do not block all pages in a row, where there is any mention of crypt, blockade and the like. They delete messages in which there is a direct offer to go through the link and buy tokens with a bonus. This is tolerable.

[ROMANALADIN]

Facebook is far from being a pioneer in its noble desire to protect unintelligent users from "incorrect" advertising, because it's almost a year since Russian Yandex has been stubbornly fighting the penetration of advertising crypto-currency transactions into the contextual network of Direct. Only Yandex, went further, banning, according to the author's observations, advertising farms, ASIC-miners (specialized devices for the production of crypto-currency) and data centers necessary for their placement.

[JuliaJi]

Yes its true, facebook now banning people, but not only facebook and instagram ! Also medium and reddit! I have been banned )

[Valekor]

There will always be the way. If social networks ban those things some guy will make his own site popular for promoting all that stuff.
We already have a few that are very good and useful.

The company Facebook has updated the rules for placing materials, now it is forbidden to advertise crypto-currencies and ICO on the expanses of the service. This prohibition applies to Instagram as well.

The official message of the company says that now no advertiser, including even legal companies, will be able to advertise Bitcoins and other crypto-currencies, as well as offers to purchase tokens within ICO or binary options.

All of the above Facebook calls financial products and services that mislead users. Facebook specialists gave examples of such advertising:

"Start trading binary options right now and get a 10-year trade guarantee without risk."
"Click here to learn more about the risk-free crypto currency, which allows you to make instant transfers around the world."
"The new ICO! Buy tokens at a 15% discount right now! "
"Use your retirement savings to invest in Bitcoin."
In the message of the director of product management in Facebook, Rob Leuven said about the reason for imposing a ban on such advertising: "We want users to be able to learn about new products and services from advertising on Facebook, without fear of fraud or deception. Nevertheless, there are many unscrupulous companies advertising binary options, ICO and crypto-currencies. "

I never seen for FB or Instagram do ban advertising btc or ICOs. Yeah, if it is objectionable advertisements of ICO companies, maybe post can be deleted by FB. If the advertisement is given correctly, then this will not be a problem i think.

I heard this news, but so far no problems have arisen. Maybe because my account is already 8 years old. Or maybe because I try not to do all the bounty at once.

On the other hand, and before this news I saw complaints, from members of the forum, on facebook.

Everyone is worrying about facebook ICO/crypto ad ban.

Just like this one

FACEBOOK BOUNTY CAMPAIGN WILL BE BAN IN THE FUTURE??

[Ureung jameun]

It seems that Crypto Companies and social media companies like Facebook and Instagram will always be at odds. Facebook and Instagram forbid crypto ads because they are perceived as a threat if later developing blockchain media that provide rewards in the form of crypto. It is feared facebook users will switch and leave it.

[suvo05]

I have heard lot of news about Facebook ban ICO advertisements but I still can see lots of ICO ads there. Are they already banned or planning to ban in future ??

[senin]

I still haven't checked or think of what are the major disadvantages of this move but I can only see that it could affect Facebook campaigns. But I don't think that it will affect the coins prices. Nothing really detrimental could occur I think.

I think that as a result of such prohibitions the value of this forum will only increase. More and more potential investors will look for ICO not in social networks, but in this forum. And this, in turn, will raise the role of the signatory campaign participants. Maybe they will not require them to pass unnecessary verification of KYC, to such companies, no one will simply join.

[daow403]

This is really not good news, many people have to leave them and use other media tools

[rolanmoon]

That is why we are advertising here.

Still I can able to see the ICO adds on my facebook wall. I think this topic is does not needed to discuss from the January last weeks onwards this topic has been created by many people through out the forum.
Hope everything will resolved soon and facebook again started accepting bitcoin and ICO adds on their site. Their sister firm Instagram also will do that.

[Mordvin]

So far, advertising on Facebook continues and bounty companies offer to participate in the distribution of advertising

[willnotwas]

Lol, it reminds me the situation with Facebook when ad specialist just needed to change 1 charecter to pass the moderation 

[ntodntodan69]

facebook and instagram never forbid to do crypto coin advertising on their wesite. which they mean is the prohibition of grinding people to enter the world of crypto to prevent fraud of investors. I think this is very good. facebook protects its users from fraud through their website

[Axens_io]

Yes, it is difficult for FB and Instagram to moderate every single advertisement and they try to use predictive analytics to find out frauds

I also have some problems with Facebook; I participate in the facebook bonus campaign, about 3 - 5 times when I share and post about the ICO; They sent me a message saying that it was spam. Oh, no I did respond to not spam. A few days later they apologized and agreed it was not spam.
Facebook is becoming increasingly difficult.

[nuggetbram]

It does not seem to be resolving sooner now. It has already banned it means you cannot now advertise the ICO project on Facebook. Things are getting little worry some now as prices are dropping too much and do not know where it will end and start to recover but hoping it will be soon we can see market rise back above 10k in coming time.
