Google to BAN crypto advertising-includes Youtube

[londoireng]

They ban ad for crypto but will google shutdown every crypto channel at youtube or blog and website ? i dont think so, they just dont allow crypto related ads at their service but we still can make that though.

Just read about it here:

This means all those crypto youtube channels will have to shutdown: unbelievable

This is not necessarily a bad news, since some of my friends have lost all their Ethers and altcoins due to clicking the phishing sites promoted by the all-mighty Google.

Google seems to be following facebook's regulations but it doesnt mean that the users that are doing cryptocurrencies especially those youtube channels will get banned,they can still do the normal thing advertise cryptocurrencies as usual but only using their channels and their own will.Youtube wont accept crypto related ads like facebook but users can still promote their ICOs.

Good thing that google will finally take some step to fight these scammers,no advertisement means these people wont have good chance of scamming millions of dollars from these noob investors who arent doing their research,this is the main problem because these shady projects are being advertised using google and youtube ads,less advertisement less victim.

[Zepp74]

Why would youtube block cryptocurrency videos? People making videos and having users watch them is how youtube makes money.

[EckhartJV]

Only you tube channels that are used to promote crypto might be shut, but giving an honest personal opinion or view on cryptocurrency is very allowed,it would be a major blow however if such was to happen

[alex_kir]

Now there is a very strong campaign to exterminate advertising in social networks and search services, I think that there are a lot of services. I think that it's time to do a decentralized search service that would belong to people and they would control what to look for and what not.

Dont be stupid,google and youtube will only follow facebook's regulations which will limit those ICOs to use their advertising program.It means that users will still be able to use their channesl to promote ICOs in their own will,but these ICOs wont be allowed to use the paid advertising program of google which is called GOOGLE ADSENSE,this might lessen the chance of these scam ICOs to scam noob investors so it still a good thing.

I really wonder why Google took this step. It’s not like people are doing something illegal when promoting cryptos.

[SpacPut]

time for decentralised search engines

I AGREE 100 PERCENT

Yep I think Google is actually scared of that, and they are trying to prevent having a rival search engine that wouldn't be owned by a company but by the people.

I think Google don't care about it. Apart from Google, there are many search engines, but they are not popular, they are not to competitors.
When there is a real competitor, then Google will reflect.

Too much scam and consequent pressure ba regulators. Maybe the future of tokens will be a future without promotion, like stocks. At any rate, how will ICOs be promoted from June on? Any alternative strategies?

[KTChampions]

All this looks like a planned attack on the crypto currency. I am amazed at the impudence with which it is done. No one remembers freedom of speech and freedom of choice. On the other hand, such a reaction shows a huge fear of the crypto-currencies from corporations of  the "old" world.

[mariangpalad]

LOL do not spread FUD,google and youtube will only restrict these ICOs to use their paid advertisement progream like what facebook did and it doesnt mean that they will remove or ban blogs and youtube channels that are cryptocurrency related,because that will be unfair ! did you get banned from posting ICOs in your facebook account? NO because that isnt against facebook terms and conditions,google and youtube too.

This is a very bad news for the cryptocurrency market. You can see from this information that the whole market crypto has fallen sharply. I am watching the market move in the near future, I think that bitcoin may be about $ 4k5-5k to have more new investors entering the market, which is also a positive sign.

yeah. goole AdWords and Facebook Ads banning cryptocurrency advertisment in their platform but i think its not a big trouble, there are many advertising platform. so its time to move from fb ads and adwords

[cryptoheroin]

Do not panic guys,they will only restrict those ICO to use their paid-advetisement program,and it doesnt mean that they will ban and remove youtube channels and blogspots if they are crypto-related ,you can still use google and youtube as usual but these ICOs wont have chance to use their advertisement programs,google is only protecting noob investors from getting scammed by these scam projects.

Yes, there really is no problem. On the contrary, this means that the relevance Youtube bounty campaigns will grow. In addition, there are other platforms for advertising.   

[usd.dev]

The hard times have come, now even advertising good projects is a complicated business that will also be blocked. I put so many reviews on different projects and offers from bloggers with investing money in projects, too, will be blocked. Year of the dog brings us a lot of pain, I hope we can survive it.

[mikfresh]

I don't think it's a definitive statement by Google. They have probably in mind a step-wise solution to reduce some interferences or scams, but I don't think this can entirely erase the crypto community, more than ever crypto channels on YouTube. That would be crazy.

[boyjackyou]

If facebook really did banned all of the accounts that are posting cryptorelated articles why theres still facebook bounty campaigns? it doesnt mean that google and youtube will ban your blogs and vlogsites if you are cryptocurrency related websites,they wont accept any advertisement from these ICOs this only means that there will be no ads with cryptocurrencies but you can still use your profiles from posting crypto related things.
