Facebook Drops Search Results For Cannabis & Marijuana

in #cannabis7 years ago (edited)

Based on a tip we investigated the report of #Facebook limiting the ability for the general public to search for information on #Marijuana and #Cannabis. This is the video we made as we researched the issue!

It is apparent that #Facebook is limiting your ability to find "Groups" and "Pages" relating to the subject of #Marijuana and #Cannabis. In our opinion this is a SEVERE restriction on the ability to locate information on one of the hottest topics currently active in the US. As a news/media page I find this disturbing as this appears to be, in my opinion, PURE CENSORSHIP of #News and information!

I am fully aware that as a private company they, #Facebook, can do as they want.

I have noticed this problem when recently trying to find Ohio medical marijuana groups. They are a private company, but this is still a serious problem.

This isn't really surprising. Twitter does similar, censoring the search results for various things.

facebook is increasingly becoming a place to be no longer around.
