Kiev: The Chinese messenger WeChat continues to ban accounts
providing information about crypto activity. The blocking referred to those
distributing content about sales for bitcoin miners and analytical data of the
crypto market.
The official account of the mining company Bitmain
"antminersale" was banned
in the messenger on September 10. According to the notice from the WeChat team,
they considered complaints from the users and found that
"antminersale" provides information about crypto projects supported
by Bitmain, though not being licensed.
However, another Bitmain account —
"antminer_official", concerning the mining equipment, is still
available in the messenger.
Moreover, the admin of the Goldcoins account, which shared
data about the crypto market during the last nine months, was banned on
September 8-9.
The account of Delphy, the Ethereum-based blockchain project
for predictions, was also closed on September 10. Such measures were taken
after Tencent, the holding company managing the WeChat app, discovered several
accounts in China that allegedly spread information for ICO on the messenger
platform.
Currently, more than 30 accounts related to blockchain
technologies and digital currencies are banned.
