MailChimp Bans Cryptocurrency Ads
MailChimp joins Google, Facebook and Twitter in banning cryptocurrency related advertising on their platform.
The mass email marketing manager, MailChimp, announced on March 29 that they intend to ban any “businesses involved in any aspect of the sale, transaction, exchange, storage, marketing or production of cryptocurrencies, virtual currencies, and any digital assets related to an Initial Coin Offering.” The company quickly received backlash from users and the online community blaming MailChimp for censorship. MailChimp defended its position saying they needed to prevent “scams, fraud, phishing, and potentially misleading business practices” from being facilitated through their platform.

MailChimp elaborated that this includes discussion of cryptocurrencies by journalists and publications, but did not elaborate further on how the platform intends to differentiate between the two.
