A few headlines for the progress JPB Liberty has made in our Crypto Ad ban class action case against Facebook, Google and Twitter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve gained more press coverage and sign ups to the suit have accelerated. People, especially Crypto insiders, are realising that what the tech Goliath did, by calling their entire industry a scam, was very wrong<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Up until now there seems to have been a sort of Stockholm syndrome mentality within crypto insiders. Some crypto insiders believe there were lots of scams and the whole industry needed to feel guilty about them. They just took the punishment from these huge mega corporations and felt they deserved some of it! Evidence just doesn\u2019t back this up. We have to fight that mentality which seems to be a very strongly held belief in a myth. You can read more about why this is a hoax here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This article in Decrypt<\/a> contains a very interesting revelation from a Facebook spokesperson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the suit names Facebook, Google and Twitter directly, Hamilton said he considers Facebook the principle offender, and alleged that the tech giant instigated the ban. <\/p> In comments to Decrypt, <\/em>a Facebook spokesman who did not want to be quoted by name said the social network would look into any cases where unfairness is alleged. The spokesman added that the initial ban had been intentionally broad to better understand the crypto market; the intent had been to create clearer policy around what constitutes acceptable crypto advertising.<\/p>Decrypt – Sued for billions, Facebook is accused of killing crypto businesses by Ben Munster<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The spokesman <\/em> Does this phrase: “the initial ban had been intentionally broad to better understand the crypto market<\/em>\u201d mean Facebook decided to ban an entire industry before they even understood it? That would be an astonishing admission. Or are they just gaslighting now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the meantime JPB Liberty has received an acknowledgement of our initial letter sent to Google in Australia. They confirmed Google Australia was talking with Google in the US and a few other details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We were also covered by Nadja Bester of BeInCrypto with an excellent and detailed explanation of the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
