This entire article appears to mix fiction liberally with any factual content that may be present.
First, those “ads” you linked do not look like ads at all. They are the same types of memes that pop up by the thousands every day. I noticed that every one of them seemed to be posted by a different source, which usually means that they arose in basements, created by millenials who were being clever.
Second, in order to believe that the Russians were acting to promote Trump’s election, one has to believe that the Russians had a motive for doing so. But it is impossible to discern any possible motive. On the other hand, it is not at all difficult to figure out motives for Russia to have wanted Hillary to be elected. In her greed and lust for power, she colluded with Russia throughout the election. The “Trump dossier” and the Uranium One deal are two well-known examples (at least among informed people) of Russia/Hillary collusion.
Third, there is an underlying goal here, and that is to condition useful idiots to automatically dismiss any idea that conflicts with their conditioning. They are conditioned to believe that it is natural to believe radical leftist ideology and that anyone who rejects it is programmed against it (by ads!). They have already been completely programmed to reject any type of rational and evidence-based ideas as racist. Ironically, they are utterly incapable of perceiving just how thoroughly they have been indoctrinated.
Anyway, time to get off the soapbox.
these writers for The Hill are merely reinforcing NYT’s attempts to keep the meme going that FB helped Trump. what a complete joke:
Updated 6 Sept: CNBC: Trump accuses social media companies of interfering in 2016 and 2018 elections
•Trump tells The Daily Caller he thinks big tech firms “already have” intervened in the November midterm elections.
•He claims they intervened in the 2016 presidential election on behalf of Hillary Clinton.
•The president warns tech firms not to continue with alleged bias against conservatives.

Trump told online conservative publication The Daily Caller he thinks big tech firms “already have” intervened in the midterms, and said Facebook and Google intervened in the 2016 presidential election on behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
“I mean the true interference in the last election was that — if you look at all, virtually all of those companies are super liberal companies in favor of Hillary Clinton,” Trump said, according to the outlet.
“Maybe I did a better job because I’m good with the Twitter and I’m good at social media, but the truth is they were all on Hillary Clinton’s side, and if you look at what was going on with Facebook and with Google and all of it, they were very much on her side.”
The president also warned tech firms not to continue with alleged bias against conservatives...

24 Jun 2016: Youtube 7:49: Mark Zuckerberg Live with President Obama after the Global Entrepreneurship Summit at Stanford
Mark Zuckerberg meet ex President of the United States, Barack Obama and a panel of other young entrepreneurs at the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit on Stanford’s campus in Palo Alto. While the discussion is scheduled to focus on business, Zuckerberg has recently been celebrating the power of live video to bring “more openness to the political process.” Earlier this week, Facebook Live and its competitor Periscope proved invaluable for bringing a sit-in on the House floor to millions of people.
FIRST COMMENT: Holy crap, this is so uncomfortable to watch Mark. I can imagine him thinking “make eye contact, make eye contact, make eye contact....nod, nod, nod, smile...nope too much, ask a question.”
