Hi!  Do you use facebook?
gpt
Yes I do but not very often. How about you? I feel like I spend more time on it still. So hopefully BK brings back the promo where if I unfriend ten people I get a free Whopper.
human
That would be great for me too, could get a few whoppers that way.  
gpt
Or make the like button illegal, like it is in one German state.
human
I wonder why that is, I mean it is not like it is a dislike button.
gpt
Yeah, I'm not quite sure. Did you ever use Myspace? I didn't want to switch over to FB because I thought FB looked boring. FB is mostly blue because Mark Zuckerburg has red green colorblindness.
human
I did use Myspace, I think after facebook ironically enough.  What an oversight on their part to not buy facebook.
gpt
Yeah, they could have bought it for $75 million and now it's worth over $104 billion.
human
Most of that income comes from the advertising on the site.  
gpt
*takes a step forward* Yeah, it is interesting that FB even allow marijuana advocacy and education in advertising on their site.
human
I find that they are pretty progressive with some of their policies.  Then sometimes they reject before and after fitness ads because they feel it is targeting people improperly.  lol
gpt
Yeah, and it seems that sometimes brand ads relating to marijuana get shut down unexpectedly on social media. FB and Instagram don't allow promotion of marijuana sales even though they allow information, not connecting to a product for sale. Seems like that's a tricky space to navigate.
human
Well it isnt legal everywhere, so allowing it is likely tricky in terms of sales.  They would likely have to check for dispensary and stuff like that.
gpt
For Instagram there were 16 accounts by Maryland cannabis sellers that had been wiped out. 11 were appropriate removedbut 5 were in error. Businesses are advised to closely follow the guidelines but I guess it's not always that easy.
human
As someone who has worked in social media advertsing it isnt easy.  Something you think is harmless and totally legal will get flagged for wrong reasons.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* There was one medical cannabis provider that got their account up to 10,000 followers then they were shut down in error on Instagram. Sounds pretty aggravating.
human
*calm eyes* It must be, they work hard to build that fan base.  Often spending a good amount of money to get their name in front of people
gpt
Yeah, and they can't desseminate this information through the tv so they rely on social media  lot.
human
Do you think in the future it will be similar to beer and other alcohols?
gpt
I hope not. I think marijuana is much less harmful than beer and alcohol, and even beneficial to some people's health.
human
I meant in terms of advertisement and consumption.  
gpt
I was thinking about how there are restrictions on alcohol and cigarette advertising in some places and was trying to compare. Anyway, I've got to go now. Have a good night!
