Following recent public notices from internet giants Google, Twitter Facebook and Yandex that they were banning ads on cryptocurrency on their platforms, groups of crypto enthusiasts, the Russian Association of Crypto-Currency and Block-Finish (RACIB) and industry associations in Korea and China plan to sue the quartets of Google, Twitter Facebook and Yandex.

Well, this is a fantastic move. Such blanket ban on ads probably because they feel threatened by the rise of global appetite for crypto is unfair indiscriminate practice.

Watch out on this space for update on the lawsuit and other breaking global news on cryptocurrency!

They complained about some people taking advantage of crypto to perpetuate fraud and stuffs like that. While that might be true, it might not be enough reason for such a blanket ban of crypto.
This ban hurts legitimate crypt business owners. And that can be a good case in court.
