Twitter Will Ban Most Cryptocurrency-Related Ads (axios.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Twitter plans to ban most cryptocurrency-related ads in the next few weeks, as Sky News first reported and a source confirms to Axios. Why it matters: The recent boom in cryptocurrencies and digital tokens has unsurprisingly attracted some fraudsters. Twitter is following in the footsteps of Facebook and Google, though it's been having its own problems with accounts promoting scams.
By related cryptocurrency-related ads, does that mean ads that advertise cryptocurrency or ads that mine cryptocurrency? The second type is probably more important to ban than the first.
What amuses me is that I haven't seen a single crypto coin ad.
All these companies joining forces to ban these ads- and I've never seen a single one anyway. It's like the government protecting me from dragons and having a dragon defense task force. There are no dragons to protect me from.
