Say What??? Facebook Bans ALL Bitcoin, ICO and Other Crypto Advertising
Did you see this? Facebook made the decision to ban ALL (yes, I’m using all caps to emphasize) ads related to Bitcoin, ICOs, and other Cryptocurrencies. Well, this video is my rant talking about that.
I think that DTube has it right. No censorship. Be sure to visit DTube and let people know what you think of it.
What do you think? Do you agree with Facebook? Watch the video and let me know below what you think in your comments. I really look forward to hearing from you, my fellow Steemians on this one.

I refuse to believe that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and all the big-box corporate websites would censor a competitor, even if they offer a better idea. Say it ain't so, Joe!
I think it will be temporary.
I'm thinking you might be right. They tended to indicate that without saying it. Time will tell. Thanx for the comment!
Seems they may have save some people from this current Blood bath.
Their platform -> their rules.
I believe they are being dictatorial, regressive and stupid, but its their choice.
Facebook has A LOT TO FEAR, and fearful entities do stupid things (like censorship).
Let the dinosaur die...
Next thing you know they will come up with their own coin and try to compete with steem.
FUD.... suckie-berg can suck on it /// protecting grannies and aunties from the crypto boogie man
the war is on !!
I agree with your comment to some extent. However, I strongly in a favor of Facebook to ban all ICOs or anything related to crypto on their platforms, because this is how they stop scamming ICOs.
They will loose a lot of revenue from those ads, but they show you that they care about people on their platform. If you want to learn about new ICOs, go to specific page for them.
Brilliant post thank you for posting that. I hope to see you around here again!
That's hilarious! They just are doing this so they make the profit from cryptocurrency, not others. Quite a smart business move in my eyes.
crypto ads are kind of annoying

Great news, the more they ban the more will leave their insidious platform.
I think they just want to protect their users from scamming ICOs, which is in my opinion, totally legit.
You got my full upvote, thanks for the good content!
Thank you very much for your full upvote, @blockchainttmft. I appreciate it. Nice to have you come over to visit.
Happy to see Dtube getting used more often on Steemit here.
I reckon it's just a matter of time before FB enable some sort of crypto advertising. I think China is a similar story - ban everything to start with then slowly start making things legal as they get a hand on things.
That makes sense. I think they have a proclivity to ban first, then slowly add back a few options. Time will tell.
Crazy. What the heck is going on?
Regulators be regulatin.
Bitfinex and Tether were subpoenaed because they failed to apply to audit rules and regulations. This is standard. If they are found to have violated rules and regulations then, quite frankly, wouldn't you want them to be found out so that Crypto can rally against and promote trust.?? Unless you want a 2015 VW ordeal.
as bugs bunny would say "THIS MEANS WAR !!!"
Yes, it is pretty crazy now. Time to fasten our seat belts and hang on as the ride gets wilder.
We're gonna see the full court press when it comes to centralized internet giants against the decentralized future of the crypto space. We (crypto enthusiasts) threaten Facebooks entire existence.
Yes, I think they are scared of what could happen. They are not going to go quietly into the night. We'll continue to offer lots of value and options through cryptocurrencies. Thank you for your message @realitybytes.
