This blog post from Facebook product management Director, Rob Leathern comes weeks after several speculations of a Facebook coin following a post by its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg where he declared his interest in learning about cryptocurrencies and possibility of integrating them into their systems.
The blog post continued saying, “we want people to continue to discover and learn about new products and services through Facebook ads without fear of scams or deception… there are many companies who are advertising binary options, ICOs and cryptocurrencies that are not acting in good faith”
This policy by Facebook is said to be a worldwide crackdown as Facebook also declared their willingness to detect deceptive and misleading advertising practices and they are also opening the floor for Facebook users to help report any such ads or misleading/deceptive scams.
“This policy is part of an on-going effort to improve the integrity and security of our ads, and to make it harder for scammers to profit from a presence on Facebook”.
