Facebook Regulates Ads Amid Bitcoin Boom
Posted in: Uncategorized
Facebook on Tuesday took a proactive step to block ads related to cryptocurrencies, underscoring a broader effort to reshape its image amid previous controversies involving Russian ads and fake news.

So it isn’t surprising that scammers turned to Facebook to post ads for sketchy “initial coin offerings,” also called ICOs, or to offer financial advice for products that were similar to a ponzi scheme.
