This article by Lauren Wilson was originally published on Weedmaps (NASDAQ: MAPS ) and appears here with permission. Advertising in the cannabis industry is hard. Inconsistent rules call for creative solutions and some unintended consequences (like commandeering the broccoli emoji''s identity). Watch Weedmap''s reluctant weed mascot, Brock Ollie, above and read on to learn more about cannabis censorship and what it means for the cannabis industry at large. If you work in the cannabis industry, it''s no secret that marketing and advertising remain a challenge. If you don''t work in cannabis, this might seem like a curious problem for the industry to face, considering that as of writing this article, medical cannabis is legal in 38 states while adult use is now legal in 19. And the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) reported that 11 other states have legislative efforts in the works for possible legalization in 2022. Even for an industry that employed more than 320,000 Americans, hit about $25 billion in sales, and had a total U.S. economic impact estimated at $92 billion last year, it remains very difficult for businesses to carry out basic functions like banking, advertising, and marketing.

Following the widespread impact of Covid-19, global economies are gearing up for a short-term future set to the backdrop of accelerated inflation. The longer-term consequences of these record-breaking inflation increases are unknown, but what appears certain is that we’re set for a difficult start to 2022 as living costs continue to rise. As labor shortages and supply chain squeezes continue to disrupt the pricing of goods and services, we’re likely to see the prolonged elevation to inflation - ranging well into the mid-single digits. (Image: Bloomberg Quint ) As Bloomberg Quint data shows, inflation is currently rife across G20 economies. With no end in sight for the growing cost of living, a greater emphasis has been placed on hedges against inflation. Traditionally, gold, commodities, and growth stocks have been regarded as excellent hedges against inflation among financial experts, but with FAANG stocks taking a battering and the price of gold tumbling from its 2020 highs, is this still the case?

Meta Platforms, Inc (NASDAQ: FB ) and Snap, Inc (NYSE: SNAP ) gained 5.37% and 7.24%, respectively, on Wednesday in a bullish attempt to reverse course to the upside. The social media stocks have been beaten down since September 2021, when they reached all-time highs. In the premarket on Thursday, Meta and Snap were trading slightly lower in sympathy with the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE: SPY ), which was reacting bearishly to Consumer Price Index data for January. Consumer prices rose by 7.5% compared to the analyst estimate of 7.3%, making it more likely the Federal Reserve will continue with its plan to raise interest rates in March to combat inflation. On Thursday when the market opened, bulls began to buy the dip on both Facebook and Snap and neither stock negated the bullish signals on their charts. While both stocks look set for a run to the upside, Snap has bounced back up into a potentially bullish pattern and has confirmed a trend change. Facebook, in comparison has work to do in order to give bulls confidence going forward.

The claim: Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is hiding in the US from protesters As protesters from across Canada swarmed to the nation''s capital to protest a new vaccine mandate for truckers, some on social media claimed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fled the country. "Apparently having his country''s citizens peacefully protest his mandates makes Trudeau a widdle scwared (sic): it is being reported that he has gone into hiding at a safe place in the US," reads a Jan. 30 Facebook post . Numerous iterations of the claim are circulating on Facebook, many of which are screenshots from the Twitter page Terror Alarm, which tweeted Jan. 29 that Trudeau was "moved to a safe place in the US" due to security fears stemming from the protests. Terror Alarm told USA TODAY in a Twitter direct message that it received the information from a now-deleted tweet. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, further amplified the claim, sharing two tweets decrying Trudeau. The first quote-tweeted the Terror Alarm post , asking whether there is "a more gutless and cowardly display than a tyrant on the run?" The second shared an image of the Canadian prime minister that read "Deport Trudeau." But the claim is false.

MOSCOW: Russia ruled Thursday that US tech giant Google, which has come under mounting pressure from Moscow, broke the law by blocking and "non-transparently" deleting accounts on its YouTube video service. The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) said Google''s "rules related to the formation, suspension and blocking of accounts and circulation of content on YouTube are non-transparently biased and unpredictable." "This leads to the sudden blocking and deletion of user accounts without warning or justification," it said in a statement on the Telegram messaging service. It found that "such behaviour infringes on the interests of users, and also limits competition in adjacent markets." It ordered Google to pay a fine, the amount of which it said is still being decided. A Google representative told the state-run RIA Novosti news agency that the US company is "waiting for the text of the decision in order to study it." In December, Moscow slapped Google with an unprecedented fine of nearly $100 million.
