Advertisements for bitcoin and other virtual currencies will soon disappear from Google.
The search company said Wednesday that it will ban ads that promote cryptocurrencies starting in June, part of an effort to clear unregulated financial products off its platform.
The move follows similar steps by Facebook (FB) -- a big rival for advertising dollars -- which shelved all virtual currency ads in January.
