Facebook Bans ALL Ads for ICOs, Bitcoin, & Other Crypto. What Say You?

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 


Did you see this? Facebook just decided that since there are a few ICOs that are bad they are banning ALL of them. (Yes, notice my emphasis with the all caps!).

What do you think of this? Yes, I'm ranting on this one but I want to hear from you here on DTube. Do you agree with this decision? How long will it last?

I look forward to getting your comments.

SteemBirds Video Comment for @terrybrock

Nice. Great song.

Yes, they did a fabulous job on this! I'm impressed!

WOW! You guys are great! Thank you for doing that. I'd put together a song myself, but it might cause a distortion in the space/time continuum if I tried to sing! :-) Keep up the good work, guys. I LOVE your stuff!

Awesome!

Yep, they did an awesome job!

they see a threat in such projects as steemit!!!

Facebook along with Youtube are trying to protect their users from bad actors.

I got rid of my farce-book account years ago, but had been considering of starting a new one just so I could cross-post to it from steemit.com

Now that they have come out against crypto and independent media (
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-30/facebook-cracks-down-independent-media-under-guise-enhancing-relationships ) I won't be re-opening an account.

Zuckerberg and his shareholders can do what they wish, but I will not have any association with such people!

So, even facebook having right to do that on them own platform. That's not the right thing to do, considering that have many other way to money laundry behind a normal companies or fake companies and they will no ban this company because don't know that. And the last studies that they did just 1% of all money on bitcoin "could" be used for that proposal. I hope that the next will not be the Google on them platforms as YouTube, AdSense Google. Have they fear blockchain?!

Hate FBI Book.

this Fcaebook thing feels a storm coming I guess lool.
I believe Steemit will be very usable in the near future then there will be a competition with facebook and even more, we just need some development and we will kill it,

I’m personally happy because I was getting tired of seeing these random ads on probably scan riddled coins when scrolling my news feed. However, it’s now another closed outlet for average people to hear about crypto.

Its a crypto revolution. There trying to stop it on all fronts...
Good luck!

My gut intuition​ is they're banning it because​e of tokens like Steem. Steem like tokens that attempt to share the wealth (if even a little) is something that a certain mindset is dead set against.

That could be. You think they are afraid of the competition? I don't blame them if they are.

I think hubris blinds them to the point of losing the very sensible Darwinian​ fear response ( it serves a very important purpose), so no, fear isn't motivating them, greed is.

Facebook just try again to censor the internet

Well, they can censor on their own platform. However, we can go to Steemit and enjoy more freedom there.

Most of the crypto ads I see on Facebook are for scams so I can see why they did it. Sucks they can't filter them somehow.

I know what you mean. I think that over 90% of the offerings are not going to work. However, I don't know which will and which won't work. So, let the free market sort it out. Let people learn by investing and then losing money. That is a damned good teacher! Just don't invest more than you can afford to lose --- old adage and still good for us today. Thank you for visiting @elitewizard407. Nice to have you stop by.

Why the duplicate post?

I love DTube for video. I love Steemit for the text, GIFs, and more that we can do. Sometimes DTube doesn't work for me as I usually do longer videos. So, I use both and love 'em both! Thank you for your comment.

Please read how i lost it all. Don't let this happen to you.

They decide ?! My advice to all, leave it now ! It is the Tether of social Media 👎

I hear you, @dalexx. I'm finding that I'm doing less and less with Facebook and more and more with Steemit. I think there is a lot of merit with Steemit and DTube.

Thank you Terry for your great job posting important news for steemits 👍👍👍FOLLOWED AND UPVOTED ..hope you fo the same
.thanks💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

Facebook appears to be winning in the short term by keeping its own users from seeing these alternatives on their own site, but also shooting itself in the foot when people realize they're seeing a soft-censored newsfeed. When people become aware of these things and see FB as adversarial, I wouldn't doubt there'll be a larger hiatus out.

Hello. Please also see the material I'm offering for the community. Currently growing fast with over 70,000 followers/subs on Youtube, Twitter, and Steemit. Goal is to provide educational technical analysis material free to the public.

Well... not only does Steemit have no censorship, it has, mor importantly, no advertising! Yes, you can promote posts and buy Steem. But you cannot force people to watch what they don't want to, unlike all the classic social networks.

Truly, we are experiencing the birth of a new social media era, and the end of an old one.

I don't agree with it, but it's facebook... they are probably thinking of launching a ICO themselves and don't want any competition

With facebook looking into getting into the blockchain as well, they seem to be eliminating all competition. The control content behind the scenes and have their own agenda, so it is not that surprising they have done this after looking into blockchain technology and how it can be integrated into their platform.
