What you're referring to is not a court ruling, but rather an opinion letter penned by the DOJ in a case to which it was not even a party. It holds no legal weight.
- falcolas 10y agoThat courts are current split on whether it applies or not indicates that there is some weight to the DOJ's opinion. That Netflix decided to ultimately settle instead of forcing the issue does not speak well of their confidence in succeeding (or their willingness to bear the costs of getting to a decision). However it ends up finally playing out in the courts, if Facebook were to fail to properly label sponsored content in tags, you can bet someone will take them to court over it.
