Google Joins Facebook in Rejecting Cryptocurrency Ads

Google Joins Facebook in Rejecting Cryptocurrency Ads

Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google is joining Facebook (FB) in banning cryptocurrency advertisements. The company is updating its advertising policies to prohibit commercials about cryptocurrencies and related content starting in June 2018. As a result, Google says it won’t allow ads promoting ICOs (initial coin offering) and cryptocurrency trading advice to run on its platforms or on the third-party websites where it serves ads.
