Advertisements for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are still appearing on Facebook, despite the social network's ban on such practices. The company imposed the ban the day as part of its efforts to protect users from financial products "frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices". However, advertisements have managed to evade the ban by misspelling "bitcoin" and "blockchain", substituting numbers for letters and putting parts of the words in brackets. Tech experts and journalists have highlighted a number of such examples on social media.
