In practice, cannabis and psychedelics educators and nonprofits continue to report takedowns, suspensions, and “not eligible for recommendations” labels, even as other sensational content is frequently visible. The problem isn’t only “censorship”; it’s uneven, error-prone enforcement that undermines legitimate health and science discourse.
