This seems to be related to last wednesday\u2019s (March 7) public statement of the US security and Exchanges Commission that many of the cryptocurrencies,<br> ICOs and related services are working outside proper regulation and are fraudulent.\n\n<center>![Cryptocurrency Market Capitalizations (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmPjKhT6KCUFarPwXcubnMEFGFzXFxF5e33aP77iTkrCa9\/coinmarketcap.JPG)\n**A snapshot of the cryptocurrencies value show a drop in most of them in the last 24hs**<\/center>\n\nAs of recently,<br> my personal experience with google advertisement have been filled with cryptocurrency ads. And it\u2019s impossible that people at google don\u2019t have a solid grasp of cryptocurrency technology. This,<br> like the last crackdown on \u201cfake\u201d news,<br> seems a broad strokes attempt to appease legislators and protect the platform\u2019s public image. What else will fall under this new policy? Classes on cryptocurrency? Cryptography books? Just like with attempts of curtailing \u201cfake\u201d news and \u201chate\u201d speech there will be a lot of innocent bystanders that will suffer for it.\n\nThis is just one more evidence that having giants like facebook and alphabet running the internet is a bad thing. But is the balkanization of the internet over political lines any better? What other problems will we face regarding this?\n \nSources:\n\n* [US Security and Exchanges Commission (https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/news\/public-statement\/enforcement-tm-statement-potentially-unlawful-online-platforms-trading)\n* [Google support on Adwords Financial Services Policy (https:\/\/support.google.com\/adwordspolicy\/answer\/7648803?hl=en&ref_topic=29265)\n* [Cryptocurrency Market Capitalizations (https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/)",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"cryptocurrency\",<br>\"advertisement\",<br>\"google\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmPjKhT6KCUFarPwXcubnMEFGFzXFxF5e33aP77iTkrCa9\/coinmarketcap.JPG\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/news\/public-statement\/enforcement-tm-statement-potentially-unlawful-online-platforms-trading\",<br>\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/adwordspolicy\/answer\/7648803?hl=en&ref_topic=29265\",<br>\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
