Google to BAN crypto advertising-includes Youtube

[Flamebellow]

Not now , starting from June . I also doubt it will be totally banned , I think this steps is a some kind of regulation , which will force ICO's or those who whant use google advertise for crypto to get some license .Let's wait to see how exactly it will work

Google wont ban users from posting and sharing cryptocurrency related,because they will only restrict these ICOs from being accepted in their paid advertising program and it doesnt mean that users will get ban if they promote ICOs in their own will,google only wants to protect people from potential scams just like what facebook did.

This is indeed right,facebook are not deleting users that are promoting ICOs in their personal profiles,these companies wont get your freedom of speech but they will restrict these ICOs to be in their advertising platform,i see positive impact to the bounty hunters because these ICOs wont get anywhere but here in bitcointalk where they will get promoted.

It will only help to fight the scammers in our community,so its not too bad to have some restrictions especially for these potential scams.This will lessen scam projects in the long run so it is really going to do the opposite of what you are thinking,these ICOs need some regulations that is why these big companies are starting to do something .

It maybe can lessen the scammer ICO but it also going to affect the legit ICO, so it's a big disadvantage moved for the crypto users, I know that the google want to prevent some people falling into scammed but stopping all the ads doesn't seem a wise move, maybe provide people with some warning and legit link to do the research is better than banning all the ads

For me it is better to ban these advertisement so that there will be less victim of these scam ICO projects,if these ICOs will be all legit that would be fantastic or we need some escrow so that the hunters will get paid and these investors wont get scammed by these greedy people in our forums,we should have a better enviroment.

Good thing because it will only eliminate these scam ICO projects that are stealing people's money,i wont be suprised if they really going to ban these paid advertisement but dont worry about the users and blogsites,or video blogs related to cryptocurrencies because they are still allowed to promote cryptocurrencies in their own will.

[Dannaey]

This will affect the advertisement of cryptocurrencies. But I know this won't be long enough. When one door closes, another door will open for us. I do not know why they are going to ban crypto advertising, but what I see is that they have hidden agenda.

[ac2eugenio]

Google will only follow the footsteps of facebook and it doesnt mean that they will remove all of those blogs and video blogs which has cryptocurrency related themes and topics,they will only banned these ICOs to their PAID ADVERTISEMENT program so do not panic it you can still promote these ICOs in your own will.

[cryptoatomic]

This is a good thing because less scammers will try to to shit projects in the community because they wont succeed without the help of social media platforms,bitcointalk wont allow this potential scam projects to be here that is why moderators are doing their best to monitor these new projects so that red trust would be served as warning to participants.

[cryptodevs]

If i were google i will ban all of these cryptocurrencies related ads,because these ICOs are only raising funds and they didnt deserve some slots in google ads,it will only help the community to lessen the scam projects, because these projects wont be advertise in the community less ads will result into less people who will get scammed.

[habaratbu]

Good thing so that these cam ICOs wont have any chance to scam innocent people or newbie investors,it will only help our community to remove these shit projects who doesnt have any use,less scam ICOs will be created because they wont have any good chance to get promoted in the community,this is really a good thing if you ask me.

Facebook did this before, but I am seeing several ICO advertising in Facebook. You may be right here that this will be some kind of regulation and I do agree too curb some scams and illegitimate ICO's. In YouTube, I think it is still okay to post some reviews.

[cryptopussies]

Good move,so these scam shit projecgts wont have any chance to scam a lot of noob investors especially those who arent doing research before they invest into something,it will elliminate these scumbags who are destroying the reputation and credibility of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies,that is why we need to have some regulations with these ICOs.

When one door closes, another door will open for us.

So twitter will also close its door soon? what do you think?

paid advertising program

Yes the same from facebook, only those paid ads and others are in panic that all the crypto things even the search engine will close its feature when you type crypto on their search box.

Yes but it didnt affect the ICOs because normal users are still able to promote these ICO advertisements using their accounts,surely google and youtube will do the same like what facebook did,because it will be unfair for those people who are using cryptocurrencies blogs and vlogs,its their freedom to promote these ICOs in their own will,so no need to worry about this.

I don't known why FB ad Google ban crypto on their product!
Cryppot is best! I think so

[Noobaru]

This is exactly the reason we need decentralized platforms. So they can't do whatever they want and ban everything that is not to their advantage. Decentralized Google, Facebook, twitter, YouTube. Let's build everything from the ground up, who cares. All in all, they can't stop crypto unless they shut down the internet and take computers from people, lol.

Well have to see that, if that will be the case then we need another youtube like site for crypto reviewers and supporters to post their video, this is a great opportunity for a project manager to set up a video-sharing site exclusive for cryptocurrency.

All goes to the fact that managers will not only create a site for video sharing, but also P2P sites, where bounty hunters will be able to directly offer their services to ICO PR managers.
