Udgivet den by Cointele | Udgivet den

The move from Facebook opened the floodgates for other such social and internet platforms to follow on and also ban anything crypto-related.

More recently, there have been reports in the media that Facebook is looking at launching its own cryptocurrency, a sort of in-app virtual coin.

With its own work in blockchain and potentially cryptocurrency as well, an ad ban would not be of benefit to the company.

"The reasons for Facebook reversing its decision to ban crypto ads are not clear, but the motivation could have something to do with its own strategy regarding the evolving crypto space. The cryptocurrency ecosystem is expanding rapidly, and is growing its footprint in mainstream society, introducing new economic opportunities. We are also seeing regulatory authorities taking steps to provide security to the ecosystem that will in turn give strength to the global economy."

Not all the news of Facebook's reversal was seen in such skeptical light, as some in the crypto community ticked this move as a big win for the longevity and advancement of cryptocurrency.

Desperate times for Facebook, with decline in user growth ad revenue also went down... So now they#39;re reversing the ban to make some money again.

The posts which have been put forward for review by Cointelegraph have become stuck, and are not being confirmed, nor denied by Facebook, during the ban as well as after the ban was 'reversed.

The only response that Cointelegraph has seen from Facebook in terms of confirming or denying posts during the ban has to do with an article on John McAfee announcing his bid to run for U.S. president it deemed to be political, and thus against its terms.

After yesterday news of Facebook reversing its ban on cryptocurrency advertisements, Cointelegraph has still been experiencing the same stringent approach on content monitoring when trying to promote this news, only for the post to be left stranded and unboosted with no explanation or reason.

Cointelegraph is having its articles left in limbo, with no reason or explanation, as Facebook announces the ban on such material is no longer in action.
