Lawsuit Takes Facebook to Court for Anti-Cannabis Stance

Cancer survivor and CBD medical consumer Felicia Palmer is going face-to-face with Facebook over the platform’s anti-cannabis stance, citing a “pattern of censorship and suppression of information” regarding “legal uses of cannabis”. 

Ms. Palmer, founder of the longest-running hip-hop news website in the world, SOHH.com, and her new company, Cannaramic Media, Inc., are commencing federal, civil action against Facebook, Inc., the social media behemoth running Facebook and Instagram, after a series of ads intended to promote the company’s educational Cannaramic Online Summit were rejected on the platforms, and the company’s follower page was disabled temporarily.

Palmer and Cannaramic Media quoted “deceptive acts and practices, and New York common-law fraud” as the formal reasons behind the complaint.
