While the businesses may have had their FB pages shut, people in Seattle are directly dealing off of their personal FB pages, with pictures of their product and "suggested donations". Why the business pages are being moderated more heavily than personal pages beyond my knowledge.

Facebook isn't the internet, It's a private advertising platform. No business should focus 100% of their efforts there. How hard is it to maintain a real website. Customers shouldn't have to log in and like a business to find out hours or details.

@1 Fuck yeah, motherfucker.

@2 Squeaky wheel situation. More likes, more interactions, more everything for businesses. This also means more reports and complaints from users, which means more shutdowns.

@3 They all do have real websites and usually very snazzy ones (lots of ex-techies in the weed biz), but their target demographic is pretty heavy into social media. Not having the FB as a supplemental advertising tool is pretty huge, considering how the average twentysomething stoner gets their information.

Facebook isn't some niche site. Facebook, YouTube, google search, and such have become utilities. They are common carriers, like phone companies, and should be regulated as other utilities are.

So those aryan, KKK, militia , separatists, fundie facebook sites are still up? Those are the social media sites that facebook has no problem with? What is facebook's origin?

I quit FB in 2010 and I don't miss it at all.

Can't rec shops simply have their own websites? Leafly and other sites do a fine job of keeping me informed in terms of inventory. As a person that keeps a small digital footprint, doesn't use Twitter, Instagram or FB - I manage to find rec shop info just fine. Jesus, have people gotten that lazy or am I just the most ambitious pothead to ever exist? My only complaint is for shop owners that do not keep on line menus updated.

Shops have their own websites, but that's not enough. Customers will look not only for your web presence but your social media presence, to see what other people have to say about your business. Having active profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc., shows to your customers that you're an active business and are engaged with your clientele, and those follower counts on each profile go a long way to enhance your reputation.

I do find it interesting that Facebook will take down pages for cannabis shops but are more than willing to leave bar pages running. I imagine there has to be some downward pressure from a federal agency.
