Google will prohibit cryptocurrency advertising

The Alphabet Holding, which owns Google, announced that in June of this year the search engine would make a ban on advertising cryptocurrencies and other speculative financial instruments, including binary options and financial bets, Reuters reports.

At the same time, Google unveiled a report according to which last year the company deleted 3.2 billion advertisements for violation of the rules for their publication. Compared to 2016, the number of remote ads almost doubled.

It should be noted that in January, the ban on the publication of advertisements related to cryptocurrencies, ICO (primary placement of cryptoactives) and binary options introduced the social network Facebook. The company clarified that such advertisements will be prohibited both on the social network itself and on Instagram and on the Audience Network, which allows you to place advertising in third -party applications. Facebook also called on users to complain about ads, which, in their opinion, violate the policy of the social network.

Recall, on February 15, Google began to block annoying advertisements in the Chrome browser. The advertising block built into the Chrome, which has become known about the creation plans of last April last year, is intended to identify some types of advertisements that violate the standards developed by the coalition for the best advertising. The category of unacceptable ads includes pop -up windows, automatically playing video with sound, advertising with a timer, appearing on the screen before loading the site, and other types of ads.
