Bankr Resumes Activity on X After Temporary Block
Bankr, an AI-powered crypto trading bot, resumed activity on X Thursday evening. The bot remains inaccessible on Telegram. Bankr allows users to trade and manage crypto assets using simple text commands on platforms like X, Farcaster, and Telegram.
The bot’s creator, @0xDeployer, said on X that Bankr was removed from Telegram for allegedly violating their terms of service (TOS). He added that the team reviewed Telegram’s rules carefully before launching, suggesting the suspension may have other causes.
The #FreeBankr Movement and Community Response
Bankr was blocked on both X and Telegram shortly after launching on Telegram. During the downtime, @0xDeployer encouraged users to access Bankr via other platforms, including its private terminal, Base App, Farcaster, and XMTP.
The crypto community quickly rallied behind the bot. They used the hashtag #FreeBankr on X and tagged platform leaders to push for Bankr’s return. This incident has sparked broader discussions on how social platforms regulate AI-powered tools.
Challenges for AI Tools on Social Platforms
Bankr’s return to X marks progress, but its Telegram ban highlights ongoing challenges for AI tools on messaging apps. The crypto community remains attentive, seeking clarity on the reasons behind the suspensions.
