Twitter to ban cryptocurrency adverts on its platform

-
Twitter Inc is to ban most advertising of cryptocurrencies on its platform, joining Facebook and Google in a clampdown on the nascent industry, the company said in a statement. The San Francisco-based firm will this week launch a policy that prohibits advertising of initial coin offerings (ICOs), a form of crowd funding used to raise cash by creating new coins. Also adverts that promote token sales and crypto wallet services, the company said in a statement. The policy will also ban adverts from crypto-exchanges, with some limited exceptions. Twitter said this month it was taking measures to prevent crypto-related accounts from “engaging with others in a deceptive manner’’, but it has faced calls to go further after bans by Facebook and Google. Facebook restricted crypto-related adverts in February, while Google announced a ban on March 14 that comes into force in June.

With such confusion going around and academic books not been left out, there is no doubt that these terms are often confused with each other. To properly put you through, here is a guideline on the difference between a jew, semite and zionist. – Jew – Originally a Jew was an inhabitant of the ancient kingdom of Judah that existed in the Middle East, centred on Jerusalem, from around 940 to 586 BC.
