How possible could this be. I do not think google will follow suit with facebook or twitter to block ICO projects ad. This is the major platform used for advertisements by most of these projects. I feel this night be FUD and to cause another panic i the crypto space. Until i come across other sources, then i will believe and confirm it is true. Moreover, i have not seen any ad. blocked of recent.

I hope this is all just a bunch of FUD as well. A blanket ban will definalety hinder legitimate projects from reaching their target audience. Its up to the individuals to do their research into specific projects prior to their investment. |

They are banning fraudulant ico ads i guess, with the massive acceptance and upgradation of everything to blockchain, it will not take long before platforms like facebook and google will also implement blockchain technology in their platforms as well.

It could not be otherwise, people are crazy about icos and show no knowledge nor desire to build up their knowledge so they get scammed all the time. But that should change eventually. Too bad. |

With to many scam ICOs using these advertising platforms it's not an accident to see Google jumping in the game. Even if project is legit their ads are basic like "have you heard of bitcoin? Well buy tinto this ICO and get rich!" Since many websites use google ads then you can reach to huge list of audiences to whom you can market your product. At least this is one thing where I agree on google because they did this move.

Once Google shuts the door on crypto ads related to ICOs, then it will be much more difficult for teams to create awareness for their ICO.
The marketing teams behind serious ICO projects will have to come up with creative and effective new strategies that have never been used to create awareness to prospective investors.
On the plus side, shitty projects will have to work thrice as hard and spend resources to reach prospective investors.

I don't know if this news is real or not cause I still see a lot of advertisement related to ICO and cryptocurrency on Google. Beside I don't think Google will deny a big income source like cryptocurrency  . Let see if this news is truthworthy or not cause atm there are a lot of FUD and a lot of people are trying to take advantage of news to ruin the crypto world. |

Oh, I think this is very good because most google adds were just shitty ICOs. Now we have more room to do campaigns here in Bitcointalk where people know more about cryptos.
True that, most of them are literally scam and we should get rid of them. it's much better to have less ICO but with a higher quality. |

I think these big companies, in fact, are afraid of the proportions that companies can launch Gigantic icos like TELEGRAM, and surpass them in collection and market value.

It may slow down the ico bubble, I think very good projects don't need advertisement too much, it is easy to make an ico and collect money for them. This is rather a problem for little projects and scam ones

I have a question, u mentioned that the twitter and Facebook banned the ICO information. While there are many media bounty campaign required participants to share the official sites or post some related information. So all these campaign will be scammer?

If this happens, we should count it a good thing. Facebook did it and the crypto community is still bubbling after that. It only goes to put a bit of sanity on the whole frenzy. Besides, ICOs have become scam ventures now with devs only out to steal public funds and then scamper to safety. I believe this should help put a regulation on ICOs. It's a welcome development, for me.

All this is due to the fact that some projects that place their advertising are scammers. According to this Google, Facebook, thus do not take responsibility. Maybe this is correct ... |

But there is a way to promote ico. If we are seeing those companies are only banning ico banner. It seems personal advertisement through the timeline will to be allowed by facebook or twitter as long as that can't be considered as another spam. Just waiting for the more news regarding it soon. |

It is a reasonable decision by Google. We know for sure that most ICOs are Scam. I am just sad cause the honest business that works with cryptos and blockchain will not be able to advertise their product, and that is a lost.

Not all crypto adds are prohibited by Google Adsense. I read the Cointelegraph's Article " Some" That means other advertisers have been banned because of " Misleading" information. Because it has a big risk scam project! If it is reviewed carefully, It is our favor for investors / bounty hunters because we can avoid joining the scam project and do not waste our time and of course the investment we worked hard. |

If its true many scam ICO will lessen but do you think google would reject if the offer of payment is too high? for banning the ICO in the google I think this one is a fud so that many investor would panic to sell their coin in a cheap price and many people would buy on the lower price then they will have a huge profit when the price goes up. |

I think they are banning crypto ads because there is growing number of people who are engaging to crypto without a knowledge on how it works. In this way ICO scam will be lessen and legit ICO will remain
