Sign SSDP’s Petition to Stop Meta Censorship

With nearly 100 company and organization co-signers (and growing!) to our Open Letter to Meta, the fight to end disproportionate censorship of content related to cannabis, psychedelics, and harm reduction has just begun.

The recent social media suspensions and bans that have swept through our communities, inspired us at SSDP to bring together a broad coalition of students, educators, researchers, advocates, entrepreneurs, and community leaders working at the forefront of drug policy reform, harm reduction, and public health to stand up against censorship and fight for the right to safe drug education online.

Accounts committed to public education, legal and policy advocacy, research dissemination, and harm reduction services—including those of licensed healthcare professionals, nonprofits, and legal businesses—have been routinely shadowbanned, deplatformed, or had their posts removed with little explanation or recourse, despite operating in full compliance with local laws. 

This suppression is not merely an inconvenience; it is a form of digital marginalization.

Add your voice by signing SSDP’s petition to Meta to:

1. End discriminatory bans and shadowbans on accounts related to cannabis, psychedelics, and harm reduction when they operate within legal guidelines.
    
2. Establish clear, transparent, and consistent content policies that distinguish between promotion of the sale of illegal substances and legitimate drug education and advocacy.
    
3. Create a dedicated appeals and accountability process specific to drug-related content that includes community stakeholders and subject-matter experts.
    
4. Engage in regular dialogue with the psychedelic, cannabis, and harm reduction communities to better understand our work and co-create equitable guidelines for content moderation.

Please join us in this fight and share our petition with your family, friends, and coworkers. The more signatures that collect the more impact we will have with applying pressure to Meta to make real change.
