The Independent - Google may begin to promote its own cryptocurrency

Banning advertising bitcoin and other crypto currency on its platforms, Google is promoting its own cryptocurrency, writes The Independent.

In March 2018, Google, in the wake of Twitter and Facebook, announced a ban on any advertising of crypto-currency on its platforms, which came into effect on June 1. The company's management explained this step by the fact that data on crypto-currencies often misinform people, causing them to make wrong decisions, and can also become an effective tool in the hands of scammers. The ban touched directly on digital money, ICO, virtual wallets, binary options, as well as any articles teaching trade using crypto currency.
