I don't think it's correct, the first one is facilitates a defined criminal activity the 2 others are not necessarily criminal (they might be in certain jurisdictions).

There is a huge difference between an "ad" that is designed to compromise a bank account through phishing and a ad that is designed to sway political opinion even if it's untruthful.

In fact out of those 3 the former isn't even an advertisement necessarily despite the fact that it might be presented to the user through "google ads".

Whether an ad is illegal is something that Google would need to determine.
