This from the FireDogLake blog:
[fb-like]“
After our ads with the Just Say Now logo of a marijuana leaf ran more than 38 million times, Facebook flip-flopped and banned all images of marijuana from its ads.”
Given that marijuana is a legal plant to grow and use for medicinal purposes in many states and given that medical and recreational use is on the ballot in other states, this can only be considered political censorship. Facebook has always been prudish, but this crosses over into political.
I wonder what would happen if the anti-Proposition 19 forces wanted to use their logo in a Facebook ad campaign? Here’s their logo http://bit.ly/9jDqIY
I wonder if they’ll decide to censor profile pictures next.
