I don’t agree it is a criminal mater. Advertisers are big boys. They need to do their own homework, before they trust whatever Facebook is peddling.
I do not want my tax dollars used to protect people who are stupid enough to believe what Facebook. If you believe Facebook, you believe conservative speech, is hate speech.
Television advertisers use private companies to verify viewers, not the Department of Justice.
If a newspaper sells ad space and posts a paid circulation of 500,000, how is the advertiser supposed to know if they really only distribute 50,000?
How is an advertiser supposed to "do their homework" about Facebook without hacking the platform and stealing their code?
How do you hook into a proprietary system and do that? I’ve purchased ads through these clowns, and I HAVE asked about who and how, and they tell you, “Sorry, we don’t do that.”
