What needs to be published is not that you match the targeting. The information that needs publishing is „who is targeting which ad with what criteria.“ That is:
The advertiser, The ad, the targeting given.
None of this contains private information and it‘s equivalent to what‘s known about ads in a newspaper.
Of course, one could argue that Facebook has a right to communicate with their users confidentially. But it's a bit of a stretch to treat ads as private communication.
