Question

Marijuana Content?

Posted September 14, 2013 4.8k views
Was looking through the host-able content in the FAQs section. I know this may sound silly, but would content pertaining to marijuana be permitted, does that fall under the mention of host-able "adult" content per state / fed laws?

DigitalOcean generally requires our customers to conduct themselves in a lawful manner; however, it is also generally the responsibility of the customer to determine whether their activities comply with applicable laws.

I should add, content TALKING about it, NOT selling / etc. Simply content about it, such as a magazine related website.

Sounds okay to me; again, so long as it's not prohibited by DigitalOcean's Terms of Service.

As long as you're not encouraging illegal activities and/or providing tutorials doing those it should fall under "Freedom of Speech".

Has anyone employed from Digital Ocean answered this question yet? I have a client (hilariously enough) which is wondering the same thing.

I build websites for clients legally conducting business in the cannabis industry in Washington State. I would like to confirm that the service is not in danger of being terminated because of contradiction US federal laws.

The TOS is vague on this matter.
