After Facebook and Google, Microsoft has now banned advertisements
showing cryptocurrencies and related products from its Bing search
engine.
"Because cryptocurrency and related products are not
regulated, we have found them to present a possible elevated risk to our
users with the potential for bad actors to participate in predatory
behaviours, or otherwise scam consumers," Melissa Alsoszatai-Petheo,
Advertiser policy manager at Microsoft, said in a blog post on
Wednesday.
"To help protect our users from this risk, we have
made the decision to disallow advertising for cryptocurrency, its
related products, and un-regulated binary options," she added.
Bing Ads will implement this change globally in June, with enforcement rolling out in late June to early July.
Google
in March announced that it would ban advertisements for
cryptocurrencies and other "speculative financial products" across its
ad platforms.
The ban on such advertisements would come into force from June.
In January, social media giant Facebook banned all ads promoting cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and ICOs.
According
to media reports, Twitter was also likely to ban cryptocurrency, token
sales and Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) advertisements on its platform.
