[danherbias07]

First was banning crypto currency ads specially ICO's.

We know its reason is to stop the scammers and also for misleading advertisements. But there are also good ones that are affected with it. Scared investors will withdraw if they see it came from a trusted or powerful person/company.

Now, #deletefacebook came. Looks like he found his rival and is somehow giving him a hard time.  
What are they really? Fame whore? Facebook have been shaking the internet consecutively now. What is the purpose behind all of this? Is the money that he is receiving not yet enough from advertisements and now he wants to look cool?

What else must the crypto world face being dragged by this? Of course we are affected, we are talking about the WWW where crypto is injected and cannot get out and we need those advertisements as far as we could to reach out those people that haven't heard a word about crypto currencies.

Facebook adverts are not only way of advertising, don't forget there are other ways too. Even if Facebook bans ad's of crypto forever, it is not end of the world. Good projects will come out on day light just the same. Maybe a bit slower, but they won't be stopped by Facebook. Those that are stopped by it, maybe they didn't deserve to be known. Good projects with good reputation will come out sooner or later.

I am not using facebook very often,nor twitter so i dont really know what the heck is with these sites? i stopped using it a long time ago wayback 2012 because theres much spam and nudity back then,not interested to it anymore because theres no informative things in the sociamedia platform,most of the news are fake.I have heard facebook isnt getting what they want anymore,the users are starting to be inactive compare to the previous years.

Followed by Facebook and Twitter will prohibit the advertising of crypto currency. The Medium also blocks the accounts of those authors who write about ICO and the crypto currency. We were surrounded on all sides. Advertising projects is becoming more difficult. Who is next? YouTube?

It is not the end of the world that social media ban crypto ads on Facebook and Twitter. Those ICOs will find a new way to advertise their projects through other channels.

This could be one of the reason for their recent activity in the news.
They may be losing a lot of users. Somehow it gets boring already. It became like a news feed for those who cannot afford to buy a diary.

Even there's a lot of problem facing by the cryptocurrencies for advertising in facebook, theres a lot of site that cryptocurrencies can  be accepted as long they open with it. as long it is not cause of for getting scam. cryptocurrency can be known not only in social media a lot of people can say it to seminars also for the relatives that who has experience in the crypto world. but the problem is like if the country is open for crypto so many country is against about it.

Damn, their stock has tanked hard. Is this all due to this recent events? Is Elon Musk trying to take down facebook?

It is not impossible for YouTube to forbid ads about cryptocurrency, after all YouTube is Google's property now. With so much new projects, comes a lot of scamming ones. Its no wonder that big companies doesn't want to lose their reputation because of some scam project. Those legit projects will turn to other places for advertising. This changes nothing, only people that know nothing about crypto will be affected by this kind of news.

Facebook had been selling user data illegaly and is facing lawsuits, the fines could ruin the platform financially.

If you are a legit ICO there is no reason to be afraid off. Besides Facebook and Twitter are not the only Social Networking site or Advertisement that are available. There are many ways to advertise it to reach the public awareness. I know many ICO that doesn't deleted by facebook, I think the one they are deleting are a shady ICO that has a complain and didn't comply with their rules.

There's actions to ban crypto ads does not help them, people now wants a real platform that would should real transparency.
When that news came out it has created a dump but crypto is strong now so it was able to bounce back.

Soon, we will have our social media that is based on blockchain and will be more popular than facebook.

I would not be surprised if someone try to make social media based around blockchain. But even if that happens, it would not be more popular than other social medias like Facebook. But why do we need social media about crypto, we have this forum. I doubt there will ever be social media about crypto. Social medias are cances of our community,  and they shouldn't be connected to crypto.

That will not go away, you can not worry, the one who wants to develop and make your product better will find another way. So I think this is the right step, protection from all kinds of spam, there is transparency and the strongest market participants.

I guess, Mark Zuckerberg just want to run his own crypto. And he doesnt want any kind of competition to promote his crypto through Facebook. I could mistake. Anyway #deletefacebook

[denizozzgur]

It is not the end of the world if social media platforms somehow ban the ICO advertisements. At the end, the more money you put in the more ranking you get for your ICO. This has to stop at some point and it will be better for newly released ICO's to rank high organically.

What I'm going to say is only speculation, I don't have any kind of evidence for it.
I have heard from a friend that Peculium wants/will sign contract with Facebook. If that is correct than, your theory could be correct... at least partially. There could be some bigger game involved, which we can't see.

[Synthmental]

After the #deletefacebook, shares in stock of facebook fell heavily. Perhaps he will cancel the ban ICO in june 2018

I believe that the whole #deletefacebook fiasco is because of their data harvesting and gathering through unethical ways. More of a privacy breach than anything, nothing to do with cryptos I think.
