Picked up the following off indybay.org, a most cool Bay Area-based site if you haven't seen it before. We'll be watching for updates on the Facebook situation:
CANNABIS CULTURE For reasons unknown, Cannabis Culture Magazine's Facebook page has been disabled by the popular social networking site.
The Cannabis Culture Facebook page, which had over 25,000 fans, (and was available at this link) disappeared on December 23, 2009. Shortly afterward, administrators of the page received an email notification:
Hello,
You created a Page that has violated our Terms of Use. A Facebook Page is a distinct presence used solely for business or promotional purposes.

The Facebook Team
CC editors have contacted Facebook and we hope to have the page reinstated soon. We are still trying to figure out how our page violated their terms; hopefully they do not consider discussion of cannabis "obscene".
