Facebook not so high on marijuana-leaf ad
Facebook is blowing smoke in the face of its core demographic by demanding that pro-pot organization Just Say Now remove the pot leaves from its on-site advertising. Not to say everyone on Facebook smokes like it's legal, but many of them do support legalization, and young people in general are more likely to vote if such measures are on the ballot. Granted, JSN won't get anywhere petitioning President Obama to support pot legalization, and its claims that this decision is "like telling [Facebook] they can't use the F in the square [in its own logo]" are more than a little hammy. But I'm still on their side, if only because you almost have to be stoned to navigate Facebook's constant user-interface changes.
