Facebook against bitcoin?

[Fantina]

I do not understand why Facebook is so related to bitcoin, I think the opposite is necessary to advertise and enter your currency

[Siopao]

Facebook ban cryptocurrency advertisement to refrain scammers from using facebook as platform to illegally gain profit. Because of the easy access on facebook, any user can easily post ads and scam people and that's what fb is against off thus resulting to banning ICo and bounty related ads.

Because they believe that Facebook prohibits bitcoin and ICos and other cryptocurrency
The new Facebook policy will not allow announcements of known digital currency exchanges or initial offers of currencies.
Is it to avoid fraud or false advertising? That's why?

That's true that Facebook will no longer accept advertisements or any Crypto related on their platform because they don't want to help the scammers is going to victimize their users.
But users could still share Crypto articles but the only difference is Facebook will no longer display or promote any Crypto related ads and articles.
Facebook mission is to make a community that every user could become closer to each other and they're not going to promote any ICOs and Crypto related because there are so many scammers and frauds on social media.

to avoid fraud and false advertising, this has been clearly written in the news ban on facebook on crypto project. I do not really know what this applies to bitcoins.

Facebook only bans ICOs and Crypto related advertisements on their platform due to many scams and frauds all over social media and Facebook don't want to help those bad guys who wanted to take advantage their platform to scam other users.
Scammers and bad guys can afford to advertise their shit ICOs on facebook and or other social media sites and that's why Facebook will no longer accept any Crypto related advertisement application at all.

I don't think facebook is against bitcoin, at least not against blockchain technology since Mark announced that this year he will dedicated to research more about it.
Hopefully we will see more support from facebook towards crypto currency!

Currently I haven't seen any restrictions on sharing and liking cryptocurrency project on my timeline! I still get many cryptocurrency advert on my feed and believe it or not these share and like is more effective than any advert I have seen on facebook.

[jankekek]

Facebook is not against bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, in fact it allows bounty to advertise their platforms but facebook does not allow spam link of cryptos in the status or post of users.

[baskanx]

Facebook removed advertisement for ico because there was a lot of spam advertisement about this, so they removed this things and they are right for doing this, I think.

[LeyMonte]

There still are Crypto groups for all coins. What they did was ban ICO promotion, and I see that as a good thing because so many ICOs are scams.

The problem is that people in the media start seeing that ban as a negative towards crypto. It's actually helping by exposing would be scammers from scamming people who don't know better.

Having this kind of strategy is a smart one because  facebook can help to have a promotion regarding about banning because  we all know that many ICos are scammed that many are already victim about this matter.

I think you are wrong facebook did not say that they will not accept to posted like bitcoin advertisement and other crypto currencies such as ICO's project advertisement. They prohibited those users who abused that spamming and did not know how to post just like spam on sewer.
I'm now currently participating in social medias campaign so far i don't have any problem in facebook by sharing post and make original post.

[number37]

I fully support the solution of facebook on this topic, they should not contribute to the development of scammers on the Internet

[DmitriySar]

I think that Facebook will protect people from many scammers. The Medium platform also battles with a lot of articles about the ICO

On my personal understanding about that issue, the facebook is not against bitcoin and do not ban bitcoin from using facebook as a place of promotion and advertisment instead, Facebook just prohibits the ICOs because of the sprouting of many scammer to protect facebook users from fraud.  But it doesn't mean that it ban bitcoin promotion as a whole.  I treat this issue possitively because it can protect many investors from being abused by many scammers.

[iigor]

I don't think Facebook is against Bitcoin or block-chain technology. I believe that they are just trying to protect their users of all scam and fraud. They want to reduce the spam as well.

There is actually a little secret behind the bans. Facebook has forbidden any kind of the ICO advertising because Mark wants to release his own coin that is in progress. Even if the plans for their crypto are not yet revealed there are actually a few hints for that. An opposition is always removed when it interferes with the progress. Mark has plans for the progress of his lifetime achievement ( Facebook) and ICO advertising for other cryptos is slightly ruining his goals so he took drastic measures to prevent further disorder of his vision. People think that he wants to prevent the scams but that is just a delusion that is being distributed by the media only for public eyes. Deep within the Facebook company something hot is boiling ( FBC - Facebookcoin)

[seanavery11]

I have read some articles about this matter. I never see this coming. Facebook banned any kind ICO advertising only. Facebook did this in order to protect is users from scam since there are a lot of scammed ICOs now. Facebook is just doing everything to keep users away from scam. Facebook is just being protective. This situation won't impact that much in cryptocurrency. This won't stop us from supporting bitcoin. Even though facebook banned crypto paid-ads, twitter is still there. Nothing can stop us, let's continue supporting bitcoin!

Maybe it's just to prevent people to be victimized by pyramiding scams. But there are some bitcoin campaigns ion Facebook. Where you have to share their post multiple tines a week and earn tokens after the campaign.

[jdeanne92]

Maybe this is because the number of doing bounty campaigns is growing. And imagine if that bounty campaign hunters is posting and sharing informations everyday that will cover a wide range of people and that is great advertising. I think facebook is loosing money because that could be there profit if that campaign paid facebook for advertising.

It doesn't mean that facebook are against the bitcoin,it means they doesn't want to promote a scam project because many ICOs are turned into scam after they earned the money as they wanted,But I don't think the facebook is against to it they just want to keep their reputation by stop promoting false projects.
