Paid ads (including political ones) on TV are not allowed to make false statements. Networks have had that policy for a long time.

It's Facebook that is undermining that norm -- even though they have the same standard for ads from non-politicians.

There's a GOP pac head that is running for something just to dodge Facebook's policy about lying.

Are you being serious? I don't have and can't stand live tv anymore, but as little as 10 years back TV was rife with lying political ads.
