Newslink: Facebook Lifts Pre-Approval for Ads Related to Most Non-ICO Crypto Projects
TL;DR: Facebook announced as of 8 May 2019 it will “no longer require pre-approval for ads related to blockchain technology, industry news, education or events related to cryptocurrency,” narrowing a policy it instituted summer of last year (to widespread condemnation by those impacted). The sudden change is viewed as a concession to rumors the social media giant is making its own foray into a crypto-like payments system, and would likely be blocked by its policy, if not thought outright hypocritical.
