as a rule whenever you hear some country has banned bitcoin your first assumption should be that the news is false. and it is true in 99% of the cases. the problem is the news sites that we have do not care about honest journalism. I don't think journalism exists among them anymore, they are all money machines that are trying to make the most out of this ecosystem. so what they do is that they continue publishing the most controversial stories to get the most visitors and earn the most from their banner ads and the traffic.
they don't care about the source or even legitimacy of the news. that is why we call them click baits

In this case, there was no article, no media involved.
It was just one made-up post with no links, no info, just a totally unrelated yt video and I think that topic got way too much attention, kudos to the mod that trashed it.

Topics like that just scream the need for a new kind of newbie jail or at least prevent low-rank users to start topics all over the forum.
Just take a look at his topics, all FUD.
