Google too closing crypto ads

[xiaoxz]

Following the lead of Facebook, Google found suspending accounts, funds relating to ICO.
Google's adword platfrom was one of the prime choice of ICO and now it's getting ever more difficult for Project to get places to advertise.

The day seems not far facebook and twitter blocking the post links related to ICO.

I think this is normal about facebook, tweeter and google to do this. Any new life has a stage of brutal growth, and then slowly transition to the normal development stage. I think ico will become more and more regular in the following period of time.

I'm not sure Google closing crypto ads, when I open a news site or portal I always find ads related to ICO, and the latest example I saw on coinmarketcap, I see iqeon.io ads, is a big disadvantage if it does not accept ads related to ICO and cryptocurrency.

Rather amusing, Google Ads still allows so many scam sites , ponzi, phising, fake sites, etc.. What right they have to choose for us?. Just let the US or other governments ready for some sort regulations for ICO, then would be just fine. An outright ban on ICO is counterproductive and outrageous. That shows us why we need blockchain and decentralized technology.

Cointelegraph seems to doing jobs that arent too helpful to the crypto community without some solid evidence, indeed I found some ico advertising method are a lil deceiving that might violate some of the adsense's policiies still doesnt make any sense to ban antll related accounts just to prevent any further ico advertisments.

Yes, I think this is a good way to project google users from ICO scams or fake websites, which has caused many investors lost their money. Also, many governments are regulateing this market, google has to do that.

Last month Facebook has banned all the crypto ads after they've been pressured by the FBI and other US Government agencies, and now, the FBI has set its eyes on Google. I think the agencies just want people to continue to discover and learn about new products and services through Facebook ads and Google ads without fear of scams or deception. That said, there are many companies who are advertising binary options, ICOs and cryptocurrencies that are not currently operating in good faith. This move is not favourable to us. We are the community who built this. But I'm afraid it's sad to think that a lot of these advertising materials are a scam. I'm not saying that all of it is, but a handful of them. Maybe in the near future, we could advertise ICOs without giving the people a 'second thought'.

If that happens that means bounty hunters will smile because they will increase the bounty pool for social media bounty. The money used to sponsor the ads on google will be channel to social media bounty. That's my opinion

[pugi2]

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.

I hope this is good sign to us if google try to prevent the ads of scam ico.
Scam ico now is very dangerous to decrease the trust of crypto hunter  because of the massive loss in scam project

I can't help but think ICO's are the perfect pawn for the powers threatened by crypto to bring it down.

[dwiady]

it will not be enough to stem the development of crypto currency, because in addition to twitter, facebook and google adwords. I think more and more other advertising websites are also great and good, but it is not as big as the network owned by twitter, facebook and google adwords.

[durgeshjishri]

This is not good if this happens ,i.e. google close cryto ads then it will not going to benefit for both,because both are in symbiosis with each other. Profit of one is profit of other.

Hilariously bad decision from a once visionary tech startup thats mantra was "do no evil". So centralized companies are allowed to advertise their IPOs on Adwords, and yet the future decentralization vision is outright censored? Shame on them.

[cheezcarls]

I'm not really sure if Google is finally closing the doors on crypto advertisements (legit or scam) forever, but I think they should only accept ads that are legit and promising. We all know how powerful is it for us to gain a lot of traffic from advertisements, it's just that investors should be protected from fraud and scam opportunities.

Facebook close its doors on cryptocurrency-related ads no matter if its legit or scam. They're too early to judge them anyway.

Things get worse for the crypto world if the news is true. If the google has acted like that then we can only accept it,
It has become their authority to make decisions like Facebook which prohibits crypto ads on facebook itself.

i haven't read this news yet,if google also decide to ban promoting an ICO, then we're doomed,i just hope that this won't happening,even facebook rules is quite affected a lot of people,not only a trader but also bounty hunter, i hope google and facebook will lift this ban soon.

[erichall]

In case you haven't noticed yet, Google/youtube and Facebook are on a censorship kick. And it's likely only just begun. These companies are becoming monopolies in this market and we really need some competition here. Censoring crypto ads are stupid.

Well, this is really a big advantage in our day to day life to avoid in fake news and helps to screen out phishing site, and scams ICO in google ads. In other side it could also a disavantage because it can minimize the popularity being promoted because it is only limited for the site.

[Getmon]

Is this already implemented? I think I have seen an ad or two that are related to cryptocurrencies. Anyway, who can blame Google? They need to do some cleansing of sites that are only scamming people using the crypto name. The problem with this is that the legit crypto projects, those that are truly helpful to the welfare of the people and the business market, are going to be banned as well along with the scams. I hope Google will integrate a mechanism that will remove the bad eggs and allow the good ones to continue. And another concern, they are treating crypto a bit harder. There are so many scam ads in Google. I know everyone noticed that.

[abderrazak belkhir]

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.

Yes ther is many scam ico's using google and the worst is that we can see some scam project ad in importants and trusted site like coinmarketcape...this is so bad
