You know how good scientists try to falsify their hypotheses?

Go to the FB ads library and look up ads from some random brands and start-ups you've heard of. They're all here: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/

Count what % are basically honest, neutral, or just dishonest. The ratio may surprise you.
