Imagine if Facebook required all Ads to be truthful and anyone found to have posted a false Ad would have all their Ads taken down for 2 weeks.

It's not like the Ads are going to go away.

Ads can be both truthful and misleading.

The problem is who decides the truth?

Children in cages Abortion is murder

Both phrases are true or false depending on who you ask and the end result will be no ads for any politician because they all use questionable language that could be considered false.
