Facebook Banned Marijuana Leaf of Libertarian Party Logo, Too | FDL Action

Facebook Banned Marijuana Leaf of Libertarian Party Logo, Too | FDL Action

The Libertarian Party contacted us this morning following the launch of our campaign to get Facebook to relent on their decision to ban the Just Say Now logo with a marijuana leaf from advertising.


We’re not trying to sell pot to people. We’re trying to have a political discussion about US drug policy, as is the Libertarian Party. In a 2.0 world of online graphics, banning the use of the subject image is not a mature decision about political discourse. It’s a decision made to appease somebody’s finger wagging grandparents.
