Seeking to get the word out about my bitcoin app, CoinScout, I started a twitter campaign to promote a tweet describing the function of the app. Twitter put my account in review and a few days later responded with:

"@bitcoinscout, your account is ineligible to participate in the Twitter Ads program at this time based on the Twitter Ads adult sexual products and services policy."

Now the app really has nothing to do with adult sexual services. It's an app to find local places that accept bitcoin as payment. (you know, burger joints and dry cleaners, not hookers lol)

Here is the app (for iOS):
https://itunes.apple.com/app/id793484994

and the tweet I was promoting
"Discover Local Places That Accept #Bitcoin As Payment. Install Now FREE itunes.apple.com/app/id793484994"

What do you think? Justified rejection? Not the real reason it was rejected?



Well do you advertise any places that might deal with adult services? Sexshops massage parlours etc?

Yeah I guess it comes down to this. It might not be the app or the description that's the problem, but if you're promoting something that shows how to find trep prostitutes that accept Bitcoin then you have your answer.
