Topic: Cryptocurrency or ICO Ban in Facebook? - page 2. (Read 424 times)
I don't think facebook will ban cryptocurrency generally. But it has already banned paid advertising related to cryptocurrency. It may ban pages of cryptocurrency in future. It's highly unlikely though.
Some of the Facebook officials have issued an informal statement, saying that They will scale down ICO and crypto-related advertisement on their platform as many of these ICO's are scams and their users had suffered a heavy loss because of it.
It does not mean that one can't create a page for its ICO popularity or users can't share a crypto related post. It is just FB will reduce their revenue from crypto related advertisement.

that's because too many scam ICO. so they will need control it before put an ad on facebook to protect their customer and our investor
I do not think that there will be a complete ban on ICO in social networks. While Facebook and Instagram banned paid advertising ICO. But nobody forbids you to place advertising on your personal page.
Who is going to see it on your personal page?
Your friends will see those advertisements.
I tried to send a friend some information on how to get some crypto. It wouldn't send and said the link was dangerous. Straight up censorship.
I don't know what you're trying to say here because just know I posted couple ICO related links in my crypto page and I didn't see any such warning and links are posted successfully. I believe that on your personal page and through the personal message you can send whatever you want but they don't allow paid ICO to advertisements.
Your 100 friends will see it and 5 of them will invest, what a genius marketing strategy lol

They censored my direct message. It would not send. While posting from one's own page, or sending a message to a friend, you should be able to send what ever you'd like but that is not the case at all.
What happen if ICO or Cryptocurrency banned in facebook or other social media? Do you think it will happen?
First of all people need to understand that facebook doesn't ban ICO ads they just stopped the paid promotions of ICO advertisements.But people still can write or share anything about ICO project,So there maybe no effect of the facebook campaigns they will continue to do their promotions on social media.

I actually experience before that my friend want to send me a link but she said it doesn't send and I don't know why, as far as I know the link she wanted to send to me is about crypto currency. I don't know if other also encountered like this.
Well, I haven't seen those kinda thing actually, but if it will happens it should be from your government first, as we know currently on Facebook or other social media was full of fake news or fake issues. What do you need to do is find out the truth then you can decide what would you do next.

Yes it is actually happened in washington facebook as I've saw in social midea. That facebook says all ads of ICO will be block or ban because of spreading the deceptive ads. Facebook banned it to avoid the scams.
Facebook is not exchange where BTC can be banned. It is a social media platform, so there is ques of banning ICO on Facebook. You can't stop anyone to share anything so this news does not make any sense.

They've only banned paid adverts.
They won't ban fanpages for ICOs and other coins, because they haven't got the resources to filter their whole system (filtering the ad system is easier because the volume is lower).
Then there is the free speech angle - they won't censor that, because there is nothing yet illegal with issuing ICOs and new coins.
Really? Well, now I'm a bit confused about it, because that is what I have seen:
Quote
Facebook has said it will block any advertising promoting crypto-currency products and services.
Quote
Facebook urged users to report any ads the company's security measures missed.
So, aren't personal advertisements considered ads?
Let's say someone is promoting a Crypto-Currency link (ICO, Binary Options...) on his personal page, then someone comes and report it. Does Facebook consider the report legit?

Facebook has officially ban ICO or anything related to crypto advertisement. What will happen? Nothing, they can still promote their ICO to other social media sites, or even in other crypto related websites.
Mark Z. goals is to prevent facebook users from investing on ICO scams. But this is not a direct attack to bitcoin or crypto itself. I also don't think it will negatively affect the price as well. The current price dip has something to do with India's news that they are regulating crypto.

Social media is a place to express your opinions regarding anything. No one can ban your views in crypto unless they are violent or explicit. Crypto or ICO are nothing among both of them so there isn't even a slightest of possibility that such a thing would occur. But yes I have heard that facebook will reduce the amount of advertisements related to cryptocurrencies on the website and its obvious due to scams running all around.

I don't know exactly what you mean by your question. ICOs are not conducted within facebook or any other social media so how could they ban them? It was announced that facebook would ban all paid advertising for cryptocurrencies (which in turn includes ICOs) in order to protect their customers interests. This is obviously bad for crypto as it reduces the reach and exposure it can have. Facebook or Social media as a whole will never ban their customers from talking about cryptocurrencies, this goes against the whole premise of social media.

I think Facebook and Instagram social sites are stop the cryptocurrency advertisement. Because many shit coins are promoting the social sites so Facebook should regulate the ICOs. I think know many ICOs are promoting in Twitter but this is temporary banning. The future Facebook also supporting to the upcoming ICOs.
There are many ways to advertise and ICO and Facebook is just one of them. This forum alone is already a good venue to advertise an ICO since the target market is already here, unlike social media, they have crawlers that detects what kind of sites you frequently visit so they can adjust the advertisement the show. Word of mouth is also a good idea to influence others to keep and hold those tokens.
