谷歌將從6月起禁止加密貨幣和ICO廣告

Google will ban advertisements for cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings from June as part of a move to clamp down on unregulated financial products.

從今年6月起，谷歌(Google)將禁止加密貨幣和首次代幣發(fā)行(ICO)的廣告，此舉是打擊不受監(jiān)管的金融產(chǎn)品的行動的一部分。

The move follows similar measures by Facebook in January which banned all advertisements for cryptocurrencies and ICOs - a crowdfunding mechanism using digital currencies - after it decided many of them were being used to mislead potential customers.

今年1月，F(xiàn)acebook采取了類似措施，禁止所有加密貨幣和ICO廣告。ICO是一種使用數(shù)字貨幣進(jìn)行眾籌的機(jī)制。在那之前，F(xiàn)acebook認(rèn)定，那些廣告中有很多被用來誤導(dǎo)潛在客戶。

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and related ICOs have exploded in popularity over the past year but the area is unregulated and open to scams.

過去一年里，比特幣(Bitcoin)等加密貨幣以及相關(guān)ICO大受歡迎，但該領(lǐng)域不受監(jiān)管，對欺詐行為沒有限制。

Google said in a blog post that it had “updated several policies to address ads in unregulated or speculative financial products like binary options, cryptocurrency, foreign exchange markets and contracts for difference (or CFDs)”.

谷歌在一篇博客文章中表示，該公司已“更新了幾項(xiàng)政策，以處置諸如二元期權(quán)、加密貨幣、外匯市場和差價(jià)合約(CFD)等不受監(jiān)管的或投機(jī)性的金融產(chǎn)品的廣告。”

The company said it will ban advertisements for “cryptocurrencies and related content” including cryptocurrency exchanges, wallets and trading advice.

谷歌表示，它將禁止“加密貨幣和相關(guān)內(nèi)容”的廣告，包括加密貨幣交易所、錢包和交易建議。

As part of the update, the search company said it took down more 100 bad adverts per second in 2017, or a total of than 3.2 billion adverts that violated its policies.

作為更新的一部分，這家搜索公司表示，2017年它平均每秒鐘撤下了100個(gè)劣質(zhì)廣告，全年總共撤下逾32億個(gè)違反其政策的廣告。

The price of Bitcoin was unchanged at $9,113 following the announcement, according to Reuters data.

據(jù)路透社數(shù)據(jù)，隨著這個(gè)聲明的發(fā)布，比特幣的價(jià)格將會保持在9113美元不變。
